Anja McCloskey returned in early 2012, with a stunning new single, ‘A Kiss,’ out January 16th – the follow up to the acclaimed ‘And Her Head,’ which won over fans everywhere from NME.com and Music Week to This Is Fake DIY.
Featuring Anja’s trademark accordion, along with violin, double bass and guitar, ‘A Kiss’ is a dramatic mix of traditional folk, alternative pop and classical, with its bold arrangement, punchy instrumentals and Anja’s enticing vocals, backed by those of Thomas Tantrum’s David Miatt. “A Kiss is about someone who is only concerned with their own feelings and actions, and not the effect they are having on others,” says Anja. “So I guess the song is even a little angry…but in a very melodic way.”
