I just downloaded a compilation track/cover? Falling Down... it is brilliant! Really love her voice.

Ane Brun
 

I've seen the name float around, but never thought to check her out until tonight, when I was searching for Nina Kinert stuff (with whom Ane duets on her live album and who deserves a thread of her own). Anyway, this is why when I see a name floating around, I should just listen immediately and judge, because I've clearly wasted years not listening to her! I've spent the evening listening and I definitely have a new musical crush. I currently have The Treehouse Song on repeat http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

OMFG I love Ane Brun! She was singing backing vocals when I saw Peter Gabriel at the O2 and did a couple of solo songs at the start. I bought one of her CDs there and then and have since got a couple more. You need to get Live at the Stockholm Concert Hall and Sketches. They are both staggeringly beautiful.

Arrrrrgggh this still hasn't seen the light in the US, nor has the b-side "One Last Try". It's all over UK/European iTunes. Bummer, but the clips will have to tide me over for now. Both songs actually sound awesome.

Changing Of The Seasons is epic. You really can't go wrong, though.

What a beautiful, beautiful new record!

I've only listened to the first half (trying to portion it out until it leaks in better quality) but I'm truly loving what I've heard. These Days is a brilliant opener, and she sounds great with Jose Gonzalez on Worship. Can't wait for the full deluxe version. I guess there's also another track on Swedish iTunes?

@anebrun has been tweeting that the album is ready to order.

Vinyl

Limited edition double CD

Standard CD

Very excited about this release! http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...es/biggrin.gif

It's a really beautiful album. Not much similar to 'Do You Remember', but that was an excellent first single choice. Should be going to the UK premiere of the accompanying film next month. Cannot wait.

Cool. Looking forward receiving my copy. I'm booked to see her show at Scala at the end of the year.

I love Wears the Trousers by the way. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Thank you http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif Have you heard the song she recorded for us?

I'll be at the Scala show too. It's been too, too long since she played a show of her own here.

I have now. Beautiful, thanks for sharing. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I've never seen her do her own show, just a couple of times with Peter Gabriel. They did Don't Give Up last time I saw them. I didn't think anyone could send shivers down my spine like Kate Bush doing that but I was wrong.

Nice - you have a copy already?! I assume through work and not a leak yet? Did you hear the whole deluxe version or the 10 song regular disc? I can't wait for this one http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I have access to a press stream, yeah. And it includes all eight bonus tracks! You're in for a treat guys http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

I've also pre-ordered the vinyl edition, because I love it that much.

Going to interview her again next month. Here's one I did in 2009

So lucky re: the interview; love the site btw and look forward to reading the new one. Can't wait for this album to come out (although I might have to hold out for iTunes - that pre-order exchange rate is BRUTAL). This is definitely my most anticipated album in the back half of 2011, though! I don't expect much will sound like Do You Remember, but is there a healthy dose of more band-heavy tracks like Treehouse Song?

I like this song she did with Koop:

Today's video of the day.

Argh, the new single is out, but not in the US http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/frown.gif Was hoping it would be on YouTube, but no luck (although the teaser clips are fantastic but all-too-short).
