Oregon folk artist Anna Tivel releases new album ‘Living Thing’, announces tour dates

As the world faced pandemic lockdowns in 2020, Oregonian folk musician Anna Tivel took the year as an opportunity to simply observe the slow passing of time and write “everything from the same window.”

Today, those writings come together to form “Living Thing,” Tivel’s sixth studio album. The record released Friday includes singles such as “Disposable Camera” and “Bluebird.” According to the musician, the album is “an attempt to capture the strange chaos of that year with the resulting songs feeling rhythmic and vital, with more melody and soaring chorus than I’ve explored in the past.”
