Welsh producer and multi-instrumentalist The Anchoress (aka Catherine Anne Davies) returns with new music in 2025. Her two acclaimed studio albums have amassed an army of celebrity fans including The Cure’s Robert Smith, Caitlin Moran, and Elton John.
Fresh from a run of summer UK dates appearing with Manic Street Preachers, these new live dates will see her preview new music from her forthcoming new studio album (details to be announced) with a full live band.
Her trademark literate baroque songwriting mixes epic melancholic guitar anthems alongside “swaggering synth-pop” (Uncut) and “shining alt-pop from the artisan of darkness” (Record Collector).
Her Top 40 second album The Art of Losing successfully transformed wall-to-wall critical plaudits into a Top 10 position in the UK physical charts, as well as the coveted #1 spot on iTunes. It was also named an album of the year by The Sunday Times, The Line of Best Fit, Mail on Sunday, Prog, and The Sun, and hailed as “one of my favourite records of the year” by Sir Elton John.
She has been twice nominated for the Welsh Music Prize and has previously collaborated with Manic Street Preachers, Bernard Butler and Simple Minds.
Versions, her recent collection of imaginative re-workings of indie anthems was named an album of the year by the Mail on Sunday and heralded by The Sunday Times as “beguiling and insightful”. This covers collection of tracks by Radiohead, REM, Depeche Mode, Nirvana, the Cure was hailed as “spine tingling” by BBC 6 Music’s Chris Hawkins and “A thrill for teenage goth girls everywhere” by MOJO.
