Ana Lete is a Boise based artist whose music has a dreamy, otherworldly quality to it. She experiments with clash harmonies and busy guitar parts to create a sound that is quite unique. Lete is known for her ability to connect with her audiences, and attendees often find themselves teary-eyed by the end of her shows. She released her debut EP in 2016, and is preparing to release full length album Eternal Hibernation in 2020.
Lete’s latest single Footsteps begins with an ostinato guitar riff, and introduces a shuffling rhythm on the kit a few bars in. Her nonchalant vocals muse that it’s hard to fight the constant cloud of negative inside. The clean electric vibes for the duration of the song, sending the listener into a meditative state. This allows them to join Lete in her thoughts— I’ve spent too many days locked inside my brain.
It’s exciting to see the bass playing such a star role in an indie folk piece. It seems to tell a story all on its own, shifting through unorthodox melodies and dropping out at key moments. Overall the production and instrumentation is creative, and intriguing. Lete is certainly an act worth keeping tabs on, and you can do so on Instagram or Facebook.
