Anni Rossi
Rockwell
from minnesota via los angeles and now based in chicago twentythree year old anni rossi is an exciting prospect having been classically trained since aged three anni is an accomplished multiinstrumentalist and has been performing as a solo artist for the past few years fresh from signing to the 4ad label anni headed straight to electrical audio in illinois to record 'rockwell' with steve albini and the results show it to have been a wise move mostly using tracks from her existing live set the energy depth and eccentricities of her live show have all been successfully translated onto record making the document she set out to make something she feels she has never achieved previously until now the viola has formed the centrepiece to her music often finding itself to be the only instrument used but more come to the fore here in particular drums and cello slightly elevate her sound appearing occasionally to fill in corners the fact it was all recorded in one day will surprise most but so will the unlikely cover version of ace of base's 'living in danger' a version so sublime you wouldn't know what it was unless told
