Nell Smith - Anxious (CD, Digipack)

Facts Posthumous record releases are always charged with emotion but when the release comes from a 17 year-old artist that was just getting started it is heartbreaking. Anxious is a mesmorizing selection of songs that explore the highs, lows and uncertainty of teenage life through the eyes of Nell and is the follow up to her debut collaboration with The Flaming Lips that explored the works of Nick Cave. Guided by the talented Jack and Lily Wolter who helped shape Nell's songs, some of which had been in the works since she was twelve years old, the result is an album brimming with emotion, playful melodies and a depth that hints at what Nell's future may have held.
