Welsh multi-instrumentalist and producer The Anchoress (aka Catherine Anne Davies) announces her brand new single, ‘I Had a Baby, Not A Lobotomy’ from her forthcoming third studio album, As We Once Were. Davies describes the track “a tongue in cheek litany of all the stupid things people said to me when I had a baby”. Propelled by a litany of lyrical barbs, she calls it “an anthem for anyone who has ever been written off for daring to procreate”.
Set to a technicolour vintage synth soundtrack - think John Grant and Depeche Mode meets Stranger Things - the single also features guest vocals from Mercury Music Prize nominated Welsh-Cornish musician Gwenno. This track is first taste from Davies' forthcoming third studio album which is set to be released this via her new label home with the ethically-minded record label Last Night From Glasgow.
