Anna Frank is a state sponsored, hermetically sealed, “experimental” artist. She’s been given a push by both Export Sweden and P4 (Swedish Public Radio). Her 2006 album Discovery is in the vein of Tori Amos and Sarah McLachlan. I know it sounds like I don’t like it, but I’m much more ambivalent than that. I can’t find anything in these songs to hang my hat on; not a turn of phrase or a piece of music.
Anna Frank is working on her sophomore effort as we speak. This is an artist that with the right production and the right material could be a an important part of the Swedish scene.
