A year ago I mentioned seeing Anna Nalick play at the Hotel Cafe. I've been away from the computer so much these last few days that I've been slow to post this, but I got an email last week from "Anna Nalick's (proud) aunt." I love getting emails from musician's families that find my site. It makes me feel important somehow.

Anyway, Anna's aunt confirmed the Columbia deal signed last October and added that it's a three album deal, of which one album is in the can as of February (to use the film terminology... it means the film's been shot. what's the music equivalent?). There's also a new official website, though it's only really a mailing list signup at the moment. The album is titled "Wreck of the Day", and the first single "Breathe" should be released in August with the album following in October. To quote a little from her Aunt again:

She writes all her own lyrics and music and, as you'll see in the next few months, she is really talented. On top of that, she is just an awesome human being. We all have great hopes for her success in the music world!!

From the little I saw a year ago I definitely agree that she's got the talent, and I too wish her the best of luck in the ever-tough music world. LA's a tough place to play, and it's always good to see someone come up and have a chance to make it.

Update (2004/07/22): Just some minor changes. Album title is "Wreck of the Day," as I had written earlier. Release date has been bumped back, with the date right now being October 26. Anna's about to embark on a three week radio tour, so hopefully the official mailing list will have some locations for that.
