I woke up early Friday to head to Cedar Street Courtyard for my interview with Anya Marina. Before her set, Anya talked to me about the inspiration behind some of her songs, her recording process (which involved recording one song topless to get the right vocals for the song) and overcoming people's expectations of her not making it in the music scene. I'll be posting the full Q&A in the upcom...

The seed of Anya Marina's new album, Slow & Steady Seduction, Phase II , should attract some attention. On one fateful night in a bar in Burbank, she and Britt Daniel (of Spoon fame) were discussing music when Anya mentioned she hadn't been inspired to write much recently. She felt frustrated at her inability to write in the rhythmic style of her recent favorites like LCD Soundsystem and Pu...

Anya Marina's latest album, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II has been garnering praises everywhere and her live show is like none other.
