Annelies Monseré has been playing music solo since 2000. Initially
the music was piano-based and mostly instrumental. Once she 'discovered'
her voice, vocals became a main focus. The early songs had very
simple structures and melodies, and the words were sparse and introvert.
Musically, she experimented with different instruments such as cello,
guitar, xylophone and melodica. Her debut album 'Helder' (released
by BlueSanct)
was described as "a delicate album, complete with beautiful cracks
and loads of tape-hiss. [...] an intensely intimate album". Other
musicians, such as Wim Lecluyse (Circle Bros.) , Ellen Evers (The
Puddle Parade), Jessica Bailiff, Michael Anderson (dREKKa, Turn
Pale), Nathan Amundson (rivulets), Justin Vollmar (Vollmar)and Nathan
Vollmar (Vollmar) supported her on stage and contributed to her
second album 'Marit' (release by Auetic).
This gave the album a significantly warmer sound and a less solitary
feel than her previous material. Her most recent output is a 7 inch
called 'somewhere someone' on Morc
Records. This ep features a Hammond organ for the first time.
This instrument led to new approaches in songwriting. This release
deviates clearly from previous releases, with a darker and harsher
sound. Besides her solo materials she is also collaborating with
Jessica Bailiff. An EP has been released by Morc Records. For the
moment she is working on a third full length, on new music with
Jessica Bailiff, and more.
