Anna Tivel

Living Thing, the newest full-length album from Oregon-based songwriter Anna Tivel, is an arcing diveinto the existential. Written through the tumultuous eyes of 2020 and recorded in Eau Claire, WI inprofound collaboration with long-time friend and producer Shane Leonard, these are songs of struggleand aliveness expressed with great joy.
“I wrote feverishly in the strange chaos of that year, suddenly out of work and attempting to understandthe shifting human fabric, the depth of desperation, and the overwhelmingtenacity of spirit. The resultingsongs felt rhythmic and vital, with more melody and soaring chorus than I’ve explored in the past. Therewas no way and no means to gather a full band, and I brought the songs to Shane’s doorstep knowing andfully trustingthe skill and exuberance of his creative imagination. Shane stripped everything down to thestuds and we rebuilt it together, just the two of us for a month in his garage studio, Shane dreaming upeach sonic layer while I chased the lyrics to one last double chorus."
