American songwriter Anna St. Louis takes notes from a wide spectrum of classic folk and country artists when forming her dusty, wistful sound, but she sculpts those inspirations into something uniquely her own. Relocating to Los Angeles after college, St. Louis fell in with a scene of like-minded music-makers, eventually releasing her debut cassette, First Songs, on Kevin Morby's Mare label in 2017. Press for this homespun release was glowing, and the following year St. Louis released a proper debut in the form of If Only There Was a River on the Woodsist label. Her 2023 sophomore effort, In the Air, expanded St. Louis' sound with richer arrangements and orchestral touches.
