This collection features the cream of Little Annie's collaborations with some of the greatest names in the 'alternative' music world: MARC ALMOND (Soft Cell), COIL, SWANS, BONNIE "PRINCE" BILLY, BABY DEE, KID CONGO POWERS (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The Gun Club, The Cramps), PAUL WALLFISCH (The Ministry Of Wolves, ex-Swans), and LARSEN.
A common atmosphere brings these tracks together; lamenting torch songs, esoteric electronics, melancholic pianos, avant-garde chanson... a collection for dark, candle-lit corners of smoky cabaret bars and secret speakeasy clubs.
