Topic: Ana da Silva

Kurt Cobain came across a Raincoats album, and found there a bunch of soul mates whose honest emotions affected him so much that he tracked down founder member Ana da Silva somewhere in Notting Hill, persuaded DGC (Nirvana's record label) to re-issue The Raincoats back catalogue and encouraged the band to re-form.
In 1977 da Silva and Gina Birch, inspired by the example of the Pistols and The Clash, of course, but also by the women of The Slits and X-ray Spex, had responded to punk's diy call to arms and eventually persuaded The Slits' drummer Palmolive to join their ranks.
Anas feline vocals stretch and arch, sensually, playfully sultry, elegant yet still tinged with that great punk attitude we know so well from her work with the Raincoats!

In 1977 Ana da Silva feeling inspired by what was happening with the Sex Pistols, the Clash, and the female fronted Slits and X-Ray Spex decided to form the Raincoats.
Nearly 30 years after forming the Raincoats and ten after their Nirvana tour, Ana da Silva is still around making music.
Ana da Silva's first solo outing is a definite change of pace for the former Raincoat and it hints at a hidden talent she's only beginning to develop.

Soon after the release of the Raincoats' final album, Moving, Da Silva collaborated with This Heat drummer Charles Hayward on a project called Roseland; they recorded a few demos together, but the duo faltered after that.
The Raincoats' reunion spurred Da Silva and the rest of the group to write new songs, resulting in the band's fifth album, 1996's Looking in the Shadows.
Da Silva resurfaced in early 2005 with Lighthouse, a largely electronic collection of songs that she wrote, recorded, and produced entirely by herself.

 BBC - collective - Ana Da Silva
As the album opens the digital sound is immediately apparent and over this the haunting vocals of Da Silva sound beautiful but as is expected from a record shaped around one small instrument, as the songs progress the sound fails to evolve.
Only in ‘Modinha’ though (the one track that’s sounds are produced from more than the one digital instrument) does Da Silva achieve the kind of musical soundscape that compliments her creative vocals sufficiently.
I doubt that more than a talented few could produce an album of this quality from one instrument and although it may not show a solo artist who is complete it does represent an exciting sound from an artist who has in the past earned the right to do what she wants, complete or not.

 Guardian Unlimited Arts | | Gina Birch and Ana da Silva, Spitz, London
Guitarist Ana da Silva looked like the kind of girl who would steal your pocket money to buy chips and then share them with you, her fragility twinned to caustic yells.
Although the last album by the Raincoats, Looking in the Shadows, was released in 1995, Birch and Da Silva remain supportive playmates, united by their misspent youth and indulgent of their differences.
Da Silva is a lonely figure, cupping her hands around her microphone as though breathing from an oxygen mask.

 ana da silva, the lighthouse
Ana Da Silva was once the lead singer in grunge frontrunners The Raincoats and saw herself getting referenced as inspiration by everyone from laughing boy Kurt Cobain through to Sonic Youth.
Thankfully for us she's decided to leave her baggy jumper days behind her and instead focus the creative energies on a fusion of folk, elecro(nica) and multi instrumentation which is both digitally smooth and wonkily organic without any of the contradictions that should imply.
With a vocal style that bears obvious comparisons with Björk ('Hospital Window') and The Concrete's Victoria Bergsman ('The Lighthouse'), Da Silva has a light and breezy voice which belies it's ability to soar when the subject matter requires or, as on 'In Awe of a Painting', take on a dead-pan urgency.

Over a quarter-century ago, Ana Da Silva’s groundbreaking art-pop ensemble, the Raincoats, provided a teenage Kurt Cobain some "very few moments of peace" (his words), never mind hand-me-down fodder for nearly all post- Nirvana rock.
A Twin Peaks ambience floats throughout the disc, most notably on the instrumental "Hospital Window." Da Silva’s playful vocals, which seem recorded through a rose-tinted microphone, sparkle with Björk-like innocence, with the exception of "Modinha," her cover of the Man From Ipanema’s aching classic.
As with the Raincoats, Da Silva’s voice rarely stays on pitch, but The Lighthouse drips with traditionally tuneful beauty and stunning electro-innovation will no doubt inspire generations to come.

Lighthouse is Ana Da Silva’s return to recording, nearly ten years after the brief Raincoats reunion.
With only a simple digital keyboard to assist her vocal, the album lacks the stirring, skeletal guitar dynamic of Da Silva’s old band.
Her sequencer accompaniment doesn’t align Da Silva with labelmates Kevin Blechdom and Chicks on Speed — those artists are in fact working closer to what the Raincoats inspired.

 The Raincoats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The initial lineup featured Palmolive, who had just left The Slits on drums; guitarist Ana Da Silva; Gina Birch on bass; and second guitarist Vicky Aspinall, who also played a mean violin (no joke).
Their sound was their own: a stuttering, often intentionally funny beat combined with the screeching abrasiveness of the violin and topped off by three high voices harmonizing over the resulting caterwaul.
Slightly older than other bands of their era -- Vicky and Gina were in their mid-twenties and Ana had already turned thirty -- The Raincoats were described by many as a feminist band, with their aggressive, rowdy songs about male-female relationships, female independence, even rape.

On March 3, 2005, the Associated Press reported that Maria Olivia da Silva, who claims to have been born on February 28, 1880, had been recognized by RankBrasil as the oldest-living woman in Brazil.
RankBrasil, a competitor of Guinness, had previously promoted the claim of Ana Martins da Silva (1880?-2004) and that records were sent to Guinness [1] (http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_555946.html), but the claim was never validated.
The most extreme claim in the 20th century was a wire story announcing in 1933 that China's Li Chung-yun, born in 1680, had died at age 256 (mathematical error as in original).
