PREMIERE | Anana Kaye Dazzle On ‘Detour’
Alt-Americana duo Anana Kaye premiere their new EP, Detour, on Medium. Recorded at The Bunker Studio in Brooklyn, NY, the EP was co-produced by the duo and Aaron Nevezie, while the bonus track was recorded in East Nashville with guitarist/producer Dave Coleman, and “Blueberry Fireworks” was produced by Brett Ryan Steward at Wirebird Productions.
Detour follows Anana Kaye’s debut album, the moody Sentient. The new EP mirrors the duo’s cathartic response to the chaos surrounding them, featuring topics such as loss, alienation, depression, and struggle traveling on alt-pop melodies flavored with classical elements.
Originally from the Republic of Georgia, at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, Anana Kaye is made up of Anana Kaye and Irakli Gabriel, who presently reside in Nashville, where they tend Duende Vision, a photo and video production company.
Embracing seven-tracks, Detour begins with “Down the Ladder,” opening on an ominous-flavored piano rife with cabaret-like savors flowing into a wickedly potent melody exuding intense energy, as Kaye’s evocative tones imbue the lyrics with fierce urgency.
