Tether: Red Clay Vinyl LP + 12x12" Print

Label: drink sum wtr
Release Date: 13th June

What hit's you instantly when listening to Annahastasia's 'Tether' is that warm and inviting baritone, with a light husk that sits somewhere between jazz singer, smokey bar troubadour, folk singer and something you'd hear backed by a big old orchestra. The music is intimate, but lush, sparse but swelling and the storytelling is that of someone laying themselves bare. 

For those who dig: Nina Simone, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Cameron Winter...

The lead single to Annahstasia's Tether, her debut LP on drink sum wtr out June 13, welcomes drums, brass, and horns into a
sweeping nod to healing. "We are all made of both shadow and light. From some angle, we have all been the villain of the
story," she adds, suggesting that often, the only way to move on is through understanding that "we are all trying our best,
negotiating survival." At its triumphant peak, above gospel-like shouts, she delivers the reprise with a smile: "Take it / Take it
back / This dull knife of memory / I still hear your voice inside my head / Says that I'm the villain of the story." Press includes
NME's 100 List and Clash Magazine's 25 artists who could define 2025.
