Details:
Annabella, husband/wife indie-pop band comprised of Terri and Tim Dittmar and dubbed âthe best American band right now, period,â by Indie Spinzone, has spent the last ten years creating mellow, hypnotizing music .The married couple spent 2006 touring theatres, coffee shops, and indie-clubs from Athens to New York City, touting their second official release, âSongs of Goodbye.â

Their latest effort, âSay Goodnightâ includes several of Tim and Terriâs friends, featuring the work of bassist Joshua Zarbo (Spoon â97-â07, Future Clouds and Radar), guitarist Dave Wirth, singer/songwriter Anderson Bracht (bo bud greene, everythings gone green), and Meason Wiley (deadwaiter) contributed electronics and a re-mix version of âPeachtree.â Zarbo also played on the coupleâs first self-titled CD and Wiley contributed to âSongs of Goodbye.â

âMy God do I love this womanâs voice! It's both sexy, womanly, lovely, kind, charitable, innocent and knowing all at the same time. It purrs, it growls and it can cut thru you like butter and wash your soul in it's beauty⦠And lets not forget her husband pens some brilliant accents as the music is perfect and well thought out. Wonderful, imaginative touches highlight just where they are needed, but no more than is needed. Every sound, every nuance, is deliberate and perfect⦠go see them if you can because right now this is the best American band there is, period.â âwww.indiespinzone.com


âSongs of Goodbye is Annabellaâs second record and their most fragile and poetic to date. While the piano-and-drums, husband-and-wife, duo from Georgetown TX is closer musically to bands like The Sundays and Mazzy Star, they will no doubt draw immediate comparisons to the Quasi / Mates Of State camp based on dynamic alone. Terri Dittmarâs voice, undoubtedly the focus of the record, sits atop a rich and beautiful reverberated soundscape of Rhodes-piano sustain, flute, and soft, distant, guitar arpeggios, which together make for a beautiful listening experience.â--- www.moresuperfun.com

âThis is a really good CD to just relax with. Sip a glass of wine, close your eyes and just let it wash over you.â Nominated Top 20 CDâs of 2005 --- www.collectedsounds.com

â"Songs" gives their sweet, sometimes folkie, sometimes dreamy sound an unexpected thematic strength ("Underneath", "Life is Sitcom") as engaging as it is listenable. Think Innocence Mission and Mazzy Star minus the gloom and with a spot of Texas sunshine. â
---The Austin Chronicle

âSongs are smooth, catchy, and unique. Itâs that originality that makes Annabella so special and worth listening to on a regular basis.â âwww.indulged.com


âBack in the early 90âs, my friends and I began worshipping swirly-throated divas from bands like the Sundays, Spinanes, Mazzy Star, and the Innocence Mission. Texas duo, Annabella, hearkens back to those glory days without sounding retroâ¦
â¦These songs are so great, and despite the similarity to the above-mentioned bands, Annabella prove themselves to be astute contemporary songwriters. Deeelish!â www.demorama.com
