New York, NY (February 6, 2017) Anna Coogan has been preparing for this moment her whole life, ever since she was a girl growing up in Boston, influenced by her classical opera training and her father's protest albums by Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan. After several efforts with her Pacific Northwest-based alt-country band north 19, a pair of well-received indie solo releases (2010's The Nocturnal Among Us and 2012's The Wasted Ocean) and a collaboration with producer JD Foster (2014's Birth of the Stars), Coogan's latest is a stylistic breakthrough. Anna Coogan will release The Lonely Cry of Space & Time. The album, a virtual two-person effort which features Willie B (Brian Wilson) on drums and Moog bass, combines Coogan's three-octave soprano vocals, electric guitar soundscapes and pointed social commentary into a fierce cohesive piece which combines the personal and the political, in a musical hybrid of rock, country, pop and classical opera into a unique whole. Just as Marvin Gaye's What s Going On and Sly and the Family Stone s There's a Riot Going On were steeped in the tumultuous '60s, Anna Coogan's The Lonely Cry of Space & Time is inextricably linked to the flammable present. The more accessible songs, like the '60s Brill Building pop of 'Sylvia,' a nod to poet Sylvia Plath, the new wave dance-pop of 'Meteor' and the blues-country ballad 'Follow Me' (co-written with JD Foster and Willie B) are intensely personal. Still, other tracks, such as 'Collateral' (with its plea not to be typed or controlled by inflammatory words), 'Burn for You' (an 'apocalyptic lullaby' in which she describes 'the brushfires of empire burn') and 'Wishing Well' (a pro-immigration plea which insists, 'If they throw wide the gates, if they slam the doors/Keep on swimming until you find the shore'), all deal with how political issues affect the individual. There have been many attempts at rock opera in the past, but The Lonely Cry of Space & Time is something different. Call it operatic rock, a genre previously explored by the likes of Kate Bush, Jane Siberry, Lene Lovich, Yoko Ono and Freddie Mercury, among others. Coogan studied opera at the prestigious Mozarteum University of Salzburg in Austria, before moving to Seattle, where she worked as a fisheries biologist in Washington State and Alaska, which goes a long way to explaining her frequent use of water as a metaphor. In fact, a drought in the Finger Lakes region of New York where she lived in part was a factor in the immediacy she brought to the new album. A true independent, Anna releases her own albums and books her own tours, which have taken her all over the world, including international festivals like the Blue Ball in Lucerne, Switzerland, the Maverick in Suffolk, U.K., as well as the Glasgow Americana Festival and Celtic Connections in Scotland. She has also played extensively in Germany and the Netherlands, and toured as a member of the Johnny Dowd Band. 'Oh let the oceans rise/To the shining skies,' she sings. 'I will burn for you.' On The Lonely Cry of Space & Time, Anna Coogan does just that, providing a shiny ray of hope for a world seemingly bent on self-destruction, deftly weaving the personal and political into a yin-yang hybrid. 'I think the two have been intertwined in me for a long time, since I was a kid' she observes. 'And these days, I don t feel as alone in my perception of current events.' And now, neither do we.
