Anna McLuckie - Little Winters

Anna McLuckie returns with The Little Winters, a new album from the Edinburgh-born nu-folk singer and clarsach player. The title refers to an American term describing late frosts that arrive during springtime - brief returns of winter that traditionally help farmers predict planting cycles. These moments are marked by the blooming of five plants - Redbud, Dogwood, Locust, Blackberry and Britches - natural indicators that thread their way through the record. Written during a period of transition, The Little Winters emerged as Anna relocated from Manchester to London, stirring an unexpected and profound homesickness for Scotland.
