Anna B Savage
Deeply intimate, operatic vocals paired with skeletal guitar. It feels like someone whispering their most uncomfortable secrets directly into your ear.

Anna B Savage is a London-born, Dublin-based artist who has carved out a unique space in the contemporary singer-songwriter landscape through her blend of chamber folk and avant-pop. Emerging with a critically acclaimed EP in 2015, she took a significant hiatus before returning with her debut full-length, A Common Turn, in 2021.
Her sound identity is built around her distinctive vocal range, which leans into a rich, lower-register theatricality rarely heard in indie folk. Critically, she is often compared to artists like Fiona Apple or PJ Harvey for her uncompromising lyrical stance and willingness to embrace sonic discomfort. Her career arc shows a progression from the skeletal, guitar-and-voice foundations of her early work toward the more expansive, textured, and occasionally electronic-tinged arrangements of her 2023 album in|FLUX. She occupies a cultural position as a 'songwriter's songwriter,' admired for her technical vocal ability and her psychological depth. Her work is a staple of the UK independent scene, frequently associated with the experimental folk community centered around venues like Cafe Oto.
