Anna B Savage announces forthcoming album, You and i are Earth
Anna B Savage has returned to announce her forthcoming album, You and i are Earth, alongside news of a forthcoming EU/UK tour.
Following on from her critically acclaimed records A Common Turn and in|FLUX, You and i are Earth manages to convey a sense of intimacy, while also being open-ended. “I don’t think I feel nervous because of the intimacy of it,” says Savage, “the thing I feel nervous about is that it is so delicate and subtle, and the attention economy has made us desire big shiny things that will whisk us away.”
Alongside the announcement, Savage shares the first single from the record "Agnes", which features Irish musician Anna Mieke, as well as tour dates in cities such as Bristol, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, and Lisbon.
Savage’s connection to Ireland goes back over a decade to when she studied a poetry Masters in Manchester, where both her teachers were Irish, “and I totally fell in love with Seamus Heaney” she recalls. “Then in 2020 I did a Masters in Music (in Dublin) and was reading essays about sean-nós singing, watching Cartoon Saloon stuff, reading about Irish mythology - I wanted to educate myself”. Since then Anna has spent much of her time on the west coast of Ireland, dipping back to her home in County Donegal between bouts of touring.
It’s fitting then, that You & i are Earth folds in some of Ireland’s brightest contemporary musicians, with Kate Ellis and Caimin Gilmore from Crash Ensemble, Cormac MacDiarmada from Lankum and Anna Mieke contributing vocals, strings, harmonium, bouzouki, taishōgoto and clarinets to the album, all tied together by producer John ‘Spud’ Murphy (Lankum, Black Midi).

- Talk To Me
- Lighthouse
- Donegal
- Big & Wild
- Mo Cheol Thú
