Anchoress Biography
Anchoress was formed in 2020 in Berlin, and is comprised of Anna Lucia Nissen (Vocals/Keys), Alexander Rathbone (Guitar) and Tobias Textor (Drums).
Centered around a magnetic vocal delivery (often inviting comparisons to Anohni, Scott Walker and Nico), Anchoress fuses elements of avant garde classical, experimental liturgy, and goth-minimalism into uncanny ecstatic dirges that oscillate between hopefulness and despair.
Their sound, evoked with swelling organ drones, ritualistic guitar arpeggios and starkly subtle percussion carries with it a cinematic sense of magic that manifests the listener into a rich and raw atmosphere of romantic doom and darkness.
Currently Anchoress are working on their first full length studio album.
