At the intersection of Harry Smith’s Old Weird America – the songs of heartworn highways – and the tumult of today you can find the music of Luke Callen. The songs – equal parts tragic comedy and hopeless reverie – paint a picture of the places and people that make up his earthly home. A poet – a player – a folk singer – Luke has traversed his country unraveling tall tales – short tunes and all that’s hidden underneath.

Anima – www.thebandanima.com/bandcamp.com

Jaia and Raina’s harmonies reflect the meaning of the lyrics, contemplating human nature, healing, relationship, and oneness, and passes through a lens of transcendentalism saturated with images of the deepest roots of nature — our earthen home, the fact that we are animals, and the endless fractal of breathing. Anima helps to remind us that we are all connected.
