Remember when you were 14 and you prayed to God to not let you die before you got to kiss Wendy Peffercorn? Or, you know, other things. That's what this release week is like. Please God, don't let me die before I listen to new albums from Bon Iver , Animal Collective , Andrew Bird , Atmosphere , Matt & Kim , Antony and the Johnsons and Robert Pollard Also, Andrew, Animal, Antony and Anya? Sounds like a conspiracy. :: 16 , [...]

You may have already heard Anya Marina's music, as it has been featured in shows such as Grey's Anatomy and Gossip Girl. You know that insanely catchy tune you were mindlessly whistling for days after the show? Well tomorrow, you can pick up Anya's sophomore full length, "Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II" on Chop Shop Records. Anya, a former radio DJ enlisted some help from a few of her friends, in Britt Daniel of Spoon and Brian Karscig from Louis XIV, who put their stamp on their respective tracks. "Afterparty At Jimmy's" has the retro 60's rock [...]
(because of this interview, the "best of" post will show up around Sunday of next week. Thanks for the patience!) Misquoted : w/ Anya Marina I was lucky enough to do an e-mail correspondence interview type thing with Anya Marina , who's new album, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II , which will be out next Tuesday, January 20th (what a big day!), is something that you absolutely need to pick up. Period. Here are [...]
Anya Marina, who I adore, despite the grey's anatomy producers thing; has recorded three lovely acoustic versions of upcoming album tracks for Live Daily . Here's 'Not a Through Street' which I've not heard before in any form. You can watch two other songs - 'Move You' & 'All The Same To Me' , also download a decent quality mp3 of all three - splendid stuff. Less than a week 'til the somewhat delayed release of 'Slow & Steady Seduction...', here's a nugget from her first album. [...]
Picture From the HAD Archive You may remember that we were quite taken with Anya Marina 's show late last year at Cafe Du Nord . Well now word has come down the wire that Ms. Marina will be touring with The Virgins in the new year, and we couldn't be more enthused. While we've never seen The Virgins live, we keep hearing great things from friends , and it's no secret that we thought Anya's live act was killer. [...]

Anya Marina is playing this week at Great Scott in Allston and we have a pair of tickets to give away to the one who can answer this brain buster... What famous Austin, TX singer produced Anya's album, "Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II", which is due out 1/20 on Chop Shop / Atlantic Records? Either put [...]
It seems to have been a long wait for Anya Marina's 2nd album - Slow & Steady Seduction Phase II; first it was mid-November, then early December, and now hopefully 20 January.To say I'm looking forward to it would be an understatement. Perhaps it will suit those who've only heard & liked 'Move You' which featured on Grey's Anatomy, but the slow & steady (ha!) leak of album tracks suggests that it may not do justice to her voice & song-writing talent, both so obvious on the 2005 album - Miss Halfway. Of [...]
Lookin' into your soul, you gotta give it a go. Less is always more, I guess. +/- Move You by Anya Marina website // myspace // last.fm
In addition to being a singer-songwriter and one-time aspiring actress, Anya Marina is a radio DJ in San Diego, California. It would make sense then that Marina's forthcoming release, Slow & Steady Seduction Phase II , reflects the great range of exposure to culture she's had in her life. The album sways between styles using Marina's voice to accentuate the sounds around it rather than becoming the focal point of any particular song. To some degree Marina sounds like a young smoker - a few thousand packs in, with a foggy rasp, seductively embracing each song with everything she [...]
I last wrote about Anya Marina's "Move You" back in October , and have since had the opportunity to listen to the entire album, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II (out janurary 20th), and have to say it sounds pretty good. I need to listen to it more, but my first impression was really good. The San Diego singer-songwriter will be coming down to play DC9 on January 15th. Anya Marina - Move You (MP3) Here is the video for "Move You", where Anya does [...]
The United Kingdom's Antiqcool has a knack for taking a familiar musical path and fine-tuning it with excellent harmonies and precise guitars. Sometimes a solo project, sometimes a collaboration; no matter, the music is atmospheric, laid back and smooth. Self-described as "The Police arrest Fleetwood Mac defended by Crosby Stills and Nash in Simon and Garfunkel's Crowded House"; classic. We'll be featuring more from the band in the near future. Antiqcool - mp3: Already Late • [...]

Perhaps the best compliment I can give Anya Marina 's Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II is that upon first listen, it didn't remind me of anything else. This San Diego DJ-turned-musician's sophomore release is thick with originality - and it's apparent from the get-go. The album opens with "Move You", a track that's introduction gave me the notion this might be another bland acoustic album - then completely shattered that perception when the beat kicked in at 1:00. The rest of the album is an equally pleasant surprise. Produced by Brian [...]
Ella Fitzgerald "What Are You Doing New Years Eve?" (Mangini Vs. Pallin Mix) This remix doesn't change the mood and tone of Fitzgerald's original recording so much as enhance it to the point that its glossy, over the top artifice becomes a bit surreal, and charming in and of itself. In other words: Yo dawg I herd you like nostalgic whimsy so we put nostalgic whimsy in yo romance so you can be nostalgically whimsical while U romance! Buy it from Amazon. Anya Marina [...]
After nearly two weeks of not having internet, i'm finally back and ready to finish off the year strong. Let me tell you, not being able to update the blog was painful, and just left me with absolutely nothing to do in my free time. I did happen to do a few things, though - creating a twitter (I can't help myself when influential people like Shaq have twitter accounts), working on our end-of-the-year album lists, and actually having time to listen to promo cds. Yeah, not too interesting I must say. [...]

Maybe you've heard her on that Grey's Anatomy show, but I think 2009 will be the year for Anya Marina . I mean she got Britt Daniel, that guy from Spoon, and Brian Karscig from Louis XIV to help produce her new album, Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II , which Chop Shop/Atlantic will release December 9th. For the record, Daniel made up a bunch of loops and drums beats and mailed them out west to Marina, who then [...]
