Sometimes you find some music you really love but you just don’t know what to say about it. That’s what’s happened to me with the lovely Grey Anne. A Portland musician with a wonderful voice, Grey Anne sings odd, slightly quirky songs that are both folksy and funky. As for not really knowing what to say about her – I like her a lot but I have no idea how to explain why. I’ve had a listen through her whole debut album, facts n figurines – it grabbed me from the very first track and just kept getting better as I listened. There’s a lot of folksy girl singers out there, but Grey Anne has something different, something that makes her not just another folksy girl singer. The songs have a light, sing-songy feel, but also have a little darkness and oddness to them – both in their sound and lyrics. Give “Flapjack Devilfish Flies Again” (below) a listen – I’ll be very surprised if it doesn’t make you want to pick up facts n figurines right away.
