Dear Annie - Music & Spoken Word
Dear Annie is a queer & trans multi-instrumentalist, creating genre-melting bangers that meld found-sound with soaring synths and trippy kicks. Fusing analogue recording through digital production, she weaves together sonic tapestries that are simultaneously familiar and filled with mystery; haunting, thumping and swirling. Dear Annie's music is a love letter to her trans-ness, and this love is rich and messy.
