:: Release Notes:
::
:: Famous duos have always left their mark in contemporary
:: music. The world owes a lot to the ideas that spring forth
:: from such a union. Jessica Congdon and Eric Holland are no
:: exception, but this duo also has a passion for the visual
:: arts. "I was scoring a movie that Jessica was editing, and we
:: realized that we had a lot in common," says Eric.
::
:: Once you hear the music from their soon to be released CD,
:: "Songs from Far Away," there is no doubt - visuals
:: immediately spring to mind. One can hear trackes of Mazzy
:: Star, Sonic Youth, New Order, Ladytron, Radiohead and (a
:: tamed) Miss Kitten, yet the uniqueness of their sound remains
:: intact.
::
:: Anagram is neither Eric nor Jessica's first venture into the
:: realms of modern alternative music. Jessica was a member of
:: both Smitten and Vervein. Eric was in the experimental
:: art-rock band, Milk Cult, which released 5 albums (Basura!/0
:: to 1 Records) and performed in the U.S., Europe and Japan.
:: More recently, Anagram has enjoyed success in film
:: soundtracks. Films include, "Big Girls Don't Cry"
:: (Columbia/Tristar with soundtrack released on Virgin
:: Records), and "Dopamine," an award-winning film at the
:: Sundance Film Festival.
::
:: An important element that has enhanced the Anagram sound is
:: their ability to artistically draw from musicians they have
:: worked with around the globe. "We have been lucky enough to
:: record with some amazing musicians," says Congdon. The duo
:: plan to continue to marry their music to visuals as well as
:: travel and record in Russia and Asia.
::
:: In the end, it seems that the duos that end up making a
:: difference are those that combine their talents and think as
:: one. With Anagram's genuine musical talent and encouraging
:: attitude, it seems that success is just a heartbeat away.
:: -------------------------
:: Songs From Far Away is a brooding, yet airy collection
:: best-suited for headphone listening or an afternoon spent
:: gazing out a window. Thoughtful dreamers, you have your new
:: soundtrack.
:: -rooney (www.bluemag.com)
:: -------------------------
:: A refreshing, ephemeral electro slash indie pop record,
:: perfectly suited to today's musical tastes and current thirst
:: for what lies in the haze between electronic and rock. Slash
:: your jeans, don your blazer and expect to hear from this
:: group at a trendy bar, cinema or smoke-filled, basement level
:: night-spot near you. Curious? You should be.
:: -Brett Thompson (www.musesmuse.com) -------------------------
:: This low-fi alternative pop act featuring the duo of Jessica
:: Congdon and Eric Holland has touches of Mazzy Star and
:: Elastica in their music. There are traces of Joy Division in
:: their rhythms, but camouflaged by very melodic, up-beat
:: melodies that stay with you well after the songs end. Congdon
:: has experience writing music for films and this debut shows
:: off her dramatic vocal inflections and her moody imagery.
:: Nicely produced, this album also feels like Death Cab for
:: Cutie, but with more electronics and a female vocalist.
