I fear I maybe a bit late to the party on this one (the album was released in July), but I just got hold of Brett Anderson’s recent album – Wilderness – and am at the end of my third listen.
It is a lovely album – short and plaintive – mainly piano, cello and his distinctive voice, I noticed it got an absolute panning in one of the papers last week, but I think it deserves a listen. As Simon Price in the Independent says, “If the French had a singer like this, they would erect statues”.
Stand out track is Back to You, recorded with French vocalist Emmanuelle Seigner, which is a beautiful track, stripped back to the barest essentials.
Lovely album – check it out.
