Anna Tivel Announces New LP ‘Outsiders’

Portland, Oregon’s Anna Tivel has announced her highly anticipated new album, Outsiders, which is due out August 19 via Mama Bird Recording Co. (Damien Jurado, Courtney Marie Andrews, Haley Heynderickx, Vetiver). Recorded almost entirely live to tape in Rock Island, IL, the 11-track set is a collaborative exploration from the same vibrant group of friends who helped craft Tivel’s acclaimed record, The Question — heralded by NPR Music as “One Of The Most Ambitious Folk Records of 2019” — including producer & multi-instrumentalist Shane Leonard and engineer Brian Joseph (Bon Iver, Sufjan Stevens). Outsiders is available for pre-order now at Bandcamp.

Of the record, Tivel shares, “Outsiders is a meditation on otherness, a deep dive into the myriad forces that keep us from connecting in real ways and a celebration of the ones that draw us together. From space exploration to schizophrenia, power imbalance to potent honesty in an old van, these songs are meant as a small prayer of recognition for loneliness and love, and all the ways we try and fail and try again to see each other clearly and let ourselves be seen.”
