Anna Kashfi – Procurement

Anna Kashfi is the name of a band from Manchester who play dreamy, melancholic music that crackles with the memories of past mistakes, missed opportunities and the emotional games played by lovers in battle. ‘Procurement' is a stunning album that moves from stately ballads through late-night laments to droning psychedelic folk that is eerie and gentle in equal measure. This is the point at which traditional English folk, modern Americana and klezmer traditions come together to create a sound that is familiar and comforting yet opaque and elusive.
