Those who (like me) spend their life going through press releases and music submissions tend to develop often misleading snap judgment tendencies. When I read NYC songstress Anna Rose‘s name in my Inbox I expected your typical, a little generic, slightly boring singer songwriter – maybe because her name is a little… effortless? But the lady’s music proved me wrong. Admittedly, Anna doesn’t play the most outrageously innovative of genres – modern blues – but she does it with style. She recently got a good amount of press because of this video of a cover of "My Body is a Cage" by Arcade Fire, which she reinterpreted with a delicate, sparse and sober touch reminiscent of The Cowboy Junkies. Now she’s releasing another video, for the the title track of her forthcoming album "Behold a Pale Horse," due out later this year.
