Most recently this came via the release of her collaborative album 'In Memory of My Feelings' with Bernard Butler (on Pete Paphides' label Needle Mythology), duetting with the Manic Street Preachers on 'Resistance Is Futile', and being personally invited by The Cure's Robert Smith to perform at his Meltdown Festival. She also brought a new generation of ears to legendary Scottish rock band Simple Minds, where she spent much of the last five years appearing on the 'Big Music' (2015) and 'Walk Between Worlds' (2018) albums.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Anchoress will launch the album with a special show at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall in July 2021.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCritical praise for The Anchoress' debut album:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"A devastatingly powerful voice\" MOJO\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"One of the year's most affecting records... a collection of songs that sets a high bar for intense, soul-tearing pop music. 9\/10.\" THE LINE OF BEST FIT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Addresses the peaks and troughs of love, commitment and betrayal...Fascinating.\" SUNDAY TIMES \"A rich and complex debut...a blackly witty breakup album...Compelling.\" THE OBSERVER\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"Like Karen Carpenter singing John Grant.\" UNCUT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"A flawless and sophisticated hyper-literate pop record.\" GQ\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"A record which could sneak big ideas past the listeners of daytime radio.\" Q\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\"...rich and satisfyingly poptastic.\" THE QUIETUS\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTrack-listing:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLP x 2 + 7\"\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
