Cat & Bird by Anna Coddington
'Cat & Bird' is the sophomore album from Anna Coddington. It explores a more guitar driven angle than her debut 'The Lake', and takes a broad lyrical scope that interprets dreams, dreams of alternate realities, and analyses what it means to be a human being in the context of an ever-expanding universe.
Cat & Bird was recorded live at Roundhead Studios in Auckland, NZ with Anna's expert band: Ned Ngatae on guitar, Riki Gooch on drums, Mike Hall on bass, and L A Mitchell on keys. Additional vocals and guitars were recorded at Anna's home studio with Ned Ngatae who co-produced the album alongside Anna.
From the supremely melodic opening track to the bouncy title track to the intense closer, Cat & Bird is a journey through ordinary life and extraordinary fantasies, told by a talented lyricist with an open heart.
