If the Downward Graph in One's Life Could be Described as a Song, It'd Sound like Anna Thoresen's 'Groundhog Day'

Hailing from Los Angeles, Anna Thoresen is slowly redefining how people experience emotions through music by crafting narratives that draw on her life yet feel deeply intimate. A singer-songwriter known for her prowess in guitar-driven songwriting, Anna's sound bridges classic rock sensibilities through bold experimental production. Drawing inspiration from legends like Fleetwood Mac and The Police, to name a few, her music sounds like a fine blend of vintage and modern, and extends beyond the walls of a studio. As someone who's collaborated with the iconic Sebastian Johnson Deal on many visually striking short films and has a lot of music experience, let's witness her charm through this release.

“Throwing light on the devastating patterns of cycling anxiety, depression, endless hysteria and vulnerability, this is a timeless piece of art.”

​Capturing the essence of being stuck in a loop of lost hope, 'Groundhog Day' is a sonic imagery of the 'death march' as Anna describes it. A term used to highlight the melancholy that consumes an individual after repeated losses in their personal and professional life, this is the time when one abandons all hope of witnessing a newer, better tomorrow. Also referencing the movie 'Groundhog Day,' where the protagonist gets stuck in a loop of space and time and continues to relive the same day even after multiple death attempts, this is a super refreshing take on the depiction of the blues in rock, and I found it very fascinating.
