Myspace Grey Anne's music exists on a parallel plane of landscapes and dreams, heartbreak and rhyme scheme. It's also fraught with emotional contradiction--a natural expression of musician Anne Adams' unique experiences. Early life around Florida's theme parks undoubtedly inspired Grey Anne's fanciful stage shows. Yet the ocean landscapes of her later home in Anacortes and her maritime Newfoundland heritage, temper her songwriting with a taste of the sea's bleak beauty and isolation. Anne owes her sense of harmony to years in church choir, and her ear for melody to voracious memorization of musicals. Adams' inventive home-recorded single, "Adelaide", a smart tableau of handclaps and wordplay, surfaced on the PDX Pop Now! Compilation CD in 2004, but otherwise she had shied away from publishing music, focusing instead on performing with her all-girl trio "Per Se" while slowly building a repertoire of nuanced, memorable songs and honing her stage persona as an emotionally charged, wing-wearing charmer. Grey Anne's unique music and enchanting performances have gradually established her as a Portland musical darling, and her upcoming album release was listed among the "most anticipated of '08" in Portland's Willamette Week and Mercury. A unique expression of Grey Anne's quirky outlook and colorful past, facts n figurines is a debut album worthy of expectationÑa curio case of verbal acrobatics, emotional intimacy and sonic sorcery.
