Anais Mitchell Anais Mitchell - Marbled Green Vinyl - Sealed UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
As funny as it may sound, Anaïs Mitchell has spent the past 15 years in some kind of hell. OK, not actual hell, but the multi-faceted world of Hadestown, a musical project she began in Vermont in 2006 that has grown into a Tony®- and Grammy®-award-winning Broadway phenomenon with touring editions now delighting audiences as far away as South Korea.
Dubbed by NPR as “one of the greatest songwriters of her generation,” Mitchell is a master of the worlds of narrative folksong, poetry and balladry. Those talents are evident from the first moments of the new album, as Mitchell narrates what she calls “an unbearably romantic” trip over the Brooklyn Bridge colored by Bon Iver member Michael Lewis' heartstring-tugging saxophone accompaniment. “Having left New York, I was able to write a love letter to it in a way I never could when I was living there,” she says. “It was like, fuck it. This is how I feel. There is nothing more beautiful than riding over one of the New York bridges at night next to someone who inspires you.”
Produced by Mitchell's Bonny Light Horseman bandmate Josh Kaufman, the album proceeds to chronicle Mitchell's reconnection with the Vermont roots that have been so formative in her life and music. “Bright Star” finds her making peace with the idea of being at peace in the familiar setting of her grandparents' house, while “Revenant” was inspired by paging through a box of journals and letters belonging to herself and her grandmother - “a very pandemic activity,” she says. “That house is literally my happy place. I can picture myself as a kid, in this house, laying on the carpet with a sunbeam coming through the sliding glass door. There's something about it that is really connected in my mind to my childhood and a very free, imaginative, creative time. “Revenant” has a lot to do with that house and reconnecting with my childhood self.”
Mitchell will debut the new material during various headline tours in the U.S. and Europe in 2022, at which she'll be accompanied by players from the album. On stage, she can't wait to further hone the sights, sounds and scenes that bring the songs to such vivid life. “I've spent a lot of time trying to write in the voice of other characters, especially with Hadestown. It's fun for me, but these songs are not that,” she says. “Weirdly, they're all me. The narrator is me. That's why it felt right to self-title the album. It felt like after so many years of working on telling other stories, now here are some of mine.”
