Today she shares two tracks, “I Wanna Dance” and “Christine”, showcasing two facets of the upcoming, much anticipated Nick Rayner-produced record. On the upbeat “I Wanna Dance”, the pressures of modern life – financial, romantic and existential – are kept at bay by intervals of good, old-fashioned hedonism. “Christine”, a gentle song about courage, advice and family, is the album’s emotional core. Reflection Of Youth – which was recorded in a studio on a working dairy farm deep in the wilds of West Wales as well as in the producer’s home studio in Cork, Ireland – is an album of visceral beauty and blistering honesty. It is a brave, candid and uncompromising record about finding purpose from confusion and strength in your weaknesses. It’s about learning how to work through your problems and take charge of your own life, instead of relying on others to do it for you. Its ten songs were largely composed in the small hours of the night and are arguably best experienced in that context, when soul-searching and introspection come naturally. For Anna Lena, the album is a document of a tumultuous chapter in her life. It’s very much about living through your twenties, which in Norwegian society are “the years when you’re supposed to figure everything out.” Reflection Of Youth follows the release of last year’s eponymous debut EP which received radio support from Huw Stephens (BBC Radio 1), Lauren Laverne and Tom Ravenscroft (BBC 6 Music) as well as critical praise from the likes of The Sunday Times and Time Out New York who included “Drive With Fear” in their Best Songs Of 2016 list. On Reflection Of Youth, EERA’s sound has already evolved into something rawer, rockier and noticeably angrier. “It was a really odd experience to listen back to the record and realise what I’d made,” says Anna Lena. “I was surprised by how different, how much more powerful it felt from the EP. Those songs sounded like I was quietly knocking on the door, trying to get in, whereas the album feels like I’m stepping through it.” If Anna Lena set out to achieve anything, she says, “it was to make an incredibly honest record that would give people a real sense of who I am. I think it’s important to be vulnerable, to not be afraid of showing emotion and be open about it with the people around you. We all face problems in our lives, so why not meet them head-on?” Artist EERA Genre Rock And Pop Label Big Dada Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings 1 Living 2 Beast 3 Christine 4 I Wanna Dance 5 Survived 6 10 000 Voices 7 Watching You 8 Trust 9 Wise Man 10 Reflection of Youth Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from EERA and more from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View EERA Reflection Of Youth (Indies Only) Rock And Pop | Big Dada | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 31st October 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders EERA Reflection Of Youth (Indies Only) £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Big Dada SKU: BD286X Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 31st October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Shannon Shaw Shannon In Nashville Rock And Pop | Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 5th June 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Shannon Shaw Shannon In Nashville £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Easy Eye Sound/Nonesuch SKU: 0075597930832 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Death And Vanilla Flicker Rock And Pop | Fire Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 17th March 2023 £21.00 - £23.00 Select options Reserve View Reservations Death And Vanilla Flicker £21.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Fire Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 17th March 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Select options View Product Quick View Jack Savoretti Europiana Rock And Pop | UMC | 1LP Released 25th June 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jack Savoretti Europiana £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: EMIV2043 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 25th June 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Calypso Rose So Calypso!
