Anna & Elizabeth’s The Invisible Comes to Us is a menagerie of sonic delight.
Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth LaPrelleare are folklorists and folk musicians and the songs that comprise The Invisible Comes to Us were resurrected and reformed by the duo along with co-producers Benjamin Lazar Davis (Okkervil River, Cuddle Magic) and Jim White (The Dirty Three, Xylouris White) from the archives of Helen Hartness Flanders at Vermont’s Middlebury College.
Their love of song is equaled by their love of sounds where drones, electronics, field recordings, and noise join the vocals for a fascinating journey into the the odds and ends of humanness.
Originally released on Smithsonian Folkways Recordings in 2018, The Invisible Comes to Us is fresh, unexpected, and full of delight.
