All the flowers listen below in the places you goall the hours spent at the sea and what you mean to me can't give up or turn aroundit's a deal going downdone by what I'm feeling insideand the secrets you hide Dream this heavy emotion under the big skyif the world lets me down I'll meet you on the corner we used to lover's trouble doubles your life in the middle of mine it's as if there's several of you like a garden I grew suddenly it sucks me inhead might spin I can never say what I feel or what you mean to me

It was early when I knewyou would do what no one else could in the fire of the sweet, the resistance the relief and no one goes there to make it easy just don't know if I'm in the world just been crying all my words you're so lovely I am reeling and as you pull my guts apart moving me across the darkI can tell what you've been dreaming I see things that no one seesI keep all the memories micro-movements in the breeze of your body when you breathe and no, no one goes there to make it easy you shake your head and say let's not make a mess before we startI can tell what you've been thinking is there a point in getting upto be brave like this my loveI can tell what you've been dreaming how can anyone live with you unconditionally here for you

about

On her new full-length album „Gummy“, Basel-based musician Anna Aaron dreams up her own way of exercising the influence of electronic music upon melodic pop songs.

The strong focus of Anna's songwriting on the element of rhythm becomes more evident than ever on her fourth record, which draws its influences from German electronic music of the 1970's, Bowie's “Station to Station” and alternative pop. Bernard Trontin of The Young Gods took her sequenced beats and translated them onto the drum kit, achieving a heavy rock sound with percussive layers that maintains an intuitive musicality while exploring compellingly creative ideas.

The songs were produced by Anna in her studio and at the little house in the mountains where she had previously recorded her takes for “Moonwaves”, the precedent collaboration with Bernard Trontin. When the production was nearly finished, Anna's brother Alain Meyer recorded the drum takes at his studio in Basel. The result is a mesmerizing journey through both dark energy and shimmering playfulness that lives off the strong emotional performances of Anna Aaron and Bernard Trontin. It radiates the desire to move.

The themes of the album are centered around personal narrative and identity. It's basically a record about heartbreak in its late stages, when you have already begun meeting new people and reclaiming your emotional space.

“Producing a song can feel a lot like furnishing a room”, Anna says about the recording process. “You have the basis through the chords and the melody, and then you think about little things to add to it, to decorate it and make it more personal and interesting. In a way, every record you make is a little world you build for yourself that you can then live in for a year or so. The 'Gummy'-world feels especially magical to me because I have never put so much personal effort and precision into the creation of an album before. My wish is that others can live in it too, and hopefully find some comfort and support there.”
