Pearlies was produced and mixed by James Chapman (aka Maps) and features Richard Oakes from Suede on guitar on several tracks. It was released last October to universal praise. “A triumphant solo debut. Pearlies has more the feel of a wistful autumnal folk record than any kind of ’90s throwback” – MOJO “Genuinely bewitching, reminiscent of the folk-horror sides of Goldfrapp and Broadcast and full of pretty melodies with foreboding underbellies, like TV theme tunes beamed in from an alternate dimension” – Loud And Quiet “A terrific album. A crisply contemporary take on British psychedelia” – Electronic Sound “While Pearlies invites comparisons with music by Lush’s many dream-pop descendants, Anderson finds intriguing ways of deviating from those templates. She’s able to nudge the guitar pedals aside and demonstrate that her music still has other places to go” – Uncut “A delight. A belated, albeit reconfigured, continuation of what the Lush reunion might have evolved into” – The Arts Desk “It’s a successful enough reinvention for Anderson surely to be wondering why she didn’t make a solo record sooner” – The Observer “The album’s 10 songs form a loose narrative of journeys and experiences coming to an end, yet at the same time Pearlies points to a bright and fulfilling solo future” – Record Collector
