Anni Rossi Heavy Meadow 

Minnesota native Anni Rossi's second LP was originally scheduled to be released by 4AD last July. For one reason or another, the classically trained singer, violist and keyboardist is on twosyllable now. Heavy Meadow is more synthetic and poppy than Rossi's cluttered 2007 effort, Scandia, and her magnificent, Steve Albini-produced debut, Rockwell.
