So, in a few days I will post an official announcement on the BLUESANCT
SITE (www.bluesanct.com) regarding the new ANNELIES MONSERÉ CD, entitled
'HELDER'... but, I thought I'd give everyone on my lists first crack at
it.

--------
ANNELIES MONSERÉ is a Belgian songwriter, currently living in Hilversum,
the Netherlands. Her basic instruments are piano and voice. In some of her
songs she also uses cello, guitar, melodica and glockenspiel. The
simplicity of the melodies is not unlike EMPRESS, while the sound textures
will remind the listener of MOVIETONE or TARA JANE O'NEIL.

'Helder' is Annelies' debut CD, though she also performs in the duo ZENT
ONE (who have a split LP out w/ the brilliant CIRCLE BROS. on MORC). She
has also done collabortation work with DREKKA and TOSS ((k-raa-k)3).

With ZENT ONE and solo, she has performed mesmerizing concerts with the
likes of MOVIETONE, CRESCENT, HOOD, DREKKA, RIVULETS, and TARA JANE
O'NEIL.

She studied painting and is now studying history.


WHY BLUESANCT IS SO EXCITED ABOUT ANNELIES' 'HELDER' CD: "Annelies' music
is singular. It is not trying to be anything except honest and simple.
She performs songs for voice and generally one instrument; piano, cello,
guitar, or melodica. Sometimes there is only voice.

She is the first European artist on Bluesanct.

Like the other artists on Bluesanct and within the Day2 Alliance, she is a
card-carrying member of romance, whose songs are expressions of love and
hope and all the pain and fright that comes with trusting another person.

I had to sneak my first listens to her music behind her back. Her
collaborator and my friend, Wim Lecluyse (who runs Morc) played it for
myself, Nathan Amundson (of RIVULETS) and JESSICA BAILIFF (KRANKY) one
afternoon because it was too powerful not to. We were stunned.

Drekka set out to try to perform these songs in my own voice, but only
came a fraction of the way to being as vital.

I knew that this music needed to be part of the Bluesanct oeuvre, and so
it is. And I couldn't be happier."
