You & I Are Earth [CD]

Anna B Savage - You & I Are Earth [CD]

A sense of rootedness is at the heart of Anna B Savage’s third record You & I Are Earth, a record that is as much about healing as it is an unbowed sense of curiosity, and, more simply, “a love letter to a man and to Ireland.” You and I are Earth transports in a different way, carried by a lingering sense of calm, a clear progression from Savage's earlier work. When she wrote her first record, she was trying to understand something she didn't really understand. By the second record, she had undergone therapy and come to terms with herself. Following on from her critically acclaimed records A Common Turn and in|FLUX, You & I Are Earth manages to convey a sense of intimacy, while also being open-ended.
