Anna Coddington Touring And Releasing New Album
24.1.11
[press release]
In celebration of her new album Cat & Bird, due for release on 21 February, Anna Coddington is hitting the road on a nationwide tour throughout February and March. She will be supported at the shows by Mike Hall (Nightchoir) and DJ KillaManRaro.
Cat & Bird combines a quirky pop style with elements of acoustic balladry for a collection of guitar-driven indie songs and stories. Recorded between Roundhead Studios and her home studio in Auckland, Anna Coddington co-produced the album with guitarist/boyfriend Ned Ngatae.
While a lot has changed in her life and songwriting approach since the release of her 2008 debut album The Lake, Anna Coddington's beautiful voice and melodies remain a constant, making the progression both a powerful and pleasant one. There is a shift toward louder guitars and bigger dynamics this time around, and an emphasis on the sound of a band surrounding the songs.
Where The Lake collected moments from Anna Coddington's life to date and was presented acoustic guitar in-hand, Cat & Bird shines with the talents of Anna Coddington's band, who will also join her on tour: drummer Riki Gooch (Eru Dangerspiel, Trinity Roots), bass player Mike Hall (Nightchoir, Pluto) and keyboardist/vocalist extraordinaire LA Mitchell (Dave Dobbyn, The Dukes).
You can catch Anna Coddington and her esteemed band at the following venues in February and March. Their wide-ranging skills should make for a great show.
