Steve Lamacq chats with, and has brand new music from, The Anchoress. New single - ‘I Had a Baby Not A Lobotomy’ (feat Gwenno), is taken from her forthcoming third studio album, As We Once Were which is due for release in August. The album was self-produced at Black Lodge and Townshend Studios - where she had access to a wealth of vintage synthesizers previously owned by The Who and was developed over the past two years, with Catherine Anne Davies stockpiling musical ideas after the birth of her daughter, “diving backwards into the past as a means to go forwards”.

She describes the album as “a conversation across four generations of women”, born out of the collision of two moments from the recent past: being given access to work with all of Pete Townshend’s collection of vintage analogue synths at the Townshend Studios in West London against the backdrop of the birth of her first child after numerous losses, and the discovery of her grandmother’s voice on a long-lost cassette tape in her mother’s attic.

Steve also has the first play of new music from JJerome87 - aka Joe Newman from alt-J and Roland Gift from the Fine Young Cannibals talks us through their massive hit - She Drives Me Crazy.
