Trace, the legendary Little Annie's first album since her 2013 collaboration with Baby Dee (State Of Grace) and the first under her name alone since 2007's Songs from the Coalmine Canary. Over half of Trace was written and recorded in Toronto with jazz maestro Ryan Driver and a crack team of session players; three collaborations feature Brooklyn electronica trio Opal Onyx, and one calls on Annie's long-standing writing/performing partner Paul Wallfisch. Little Annie has been giving a lot of herself away in recent years. In 2013, Existencil Press published her book of prose, Sing Don't Cry /I Remember Mexico, while in the same year, her extraordinary memoir You Can't Sing The Blues While Drinking Milk was published by Tin Angel. Annie Anxiety was a name she used back in the day, when she lived in the UK in the late '70s and early '80s and worked closely with punk anarchists Crass before becoming the house chanteuse for Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound label, fusing poetry with tough rhythms, before a raft of guest appearances (The Wolfgang Press, Current 93, Coil, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Bim Sherman) and later, the dark-carnival cabaret of her records with Wallfisch and the gentler piano/strings template for the Antony-produced Coalmine Canary and the similarly exquisite State Of Grace.
