‘Damsels’ by @theanchoress.bsky.social spectralnights.com/2026/05/16/t...

I’ve always loved music that does more: Music that teaches you and provides signposts to new worlds and acts as a surrogate teacher. Read more about what made me want to write a song that reads like a history exam you actually want to sit… theanchoress.substack.com/p/damsels-a-...

‘Equality offends your ego’. Love this release from the wonderful Catherine from her upcoming album. 🖤

When @theanchoress.bsky.social offers up a bandcamp exclusive, it's rude to say no...

Choose your fighter… Which character from the ‘I Had A Baby Not A Lobotomy’ would you like to know more about?

Genuinely slightly obsessed with the new @theanchoress.bsky.social single. youtu.be/rznjp_gbpJs?...

All my CD albums are just £6 for the rest of the weekend. That’s better than half price! The flash sale is going to help me to pay for some large bills around the album campaign so every CD purchased really contributes to the success of the new album too. iamtheanchoress.bandcamp.com/merch

If you’ve ever wondered what I might look like with a moustache, check out the brand new video, directed by JJ Eringa. Featuring a host of colourful characters, we raided the wig box and had a LOT of fun making this ❤️🙏🏻 youtu.be/rznjp_gbpJs?...

I absolutely bloody love this track. That is all.

Just when you thought you were safe… the official music video for I Had A Baby Not A Lobotomy premieres this Weds at 7pm BST on The Anchoress YouTube channel. I’ll be chatting live with JJ Eringa. Get your reminder here: youtu.be/rznjp_gbpJs?...

First interview about the new album with the NME. I talk all about all the stupid things people said to me when I had a baby, being let loose on Pete Townshend's synths, and how tripping over a cassette tape gave rise to the new 14 track concept album: www.nme.com/news/music/t...

On this day in 2016, PSFU came out, ahead of my debut album Confessions Of A Romance Novelist. Here’s some outtakes of myself and cellist Gillian Wood goofing around at the BBC Maida Vale live session for the release where I was DEFINITELY not allowed to play that song as part of the set 😂

Rewatching the stunning BBC adaptation of Great Expectations with Gillian Anderson on the iPlayer in what has become something of a strange Christmas tradition. Has there ever been a more perfect rendering of Miss Havisham? Curious about your non-traditional Christmas traditions in your household.

4 years ago, The Art Of Losing was an album of the year. It was a dream come true. Today, so many of those publications that championed that record have closed or cut their coverage drastically. New piece over on my Substack about why we need to fight for the music press: theanchoress.substack.com

When your phone autocorrects “kettle” to “Kierkegaard” it probably means I’ve owned it too long that it knows the inside of my head and it’s time to upgrade…

No rest for the wicked as I was up early getting in. The shows are just ten days away now and I always get stuck into a daily ritual of running the set from start to finish to get my muscle memory embedded in. What have you all got planned for your Sunday?
