“Who says LA can’t make you tender?” she sings in shades of Natalie Merchant or Jewel on the gauzy, sun-drenched beauty “Seasonal.” Looking through Ash’s lens, California becomes a kind of mystic fever dream, fading in and out of view. Her songs capture a place in flux, in all its beauty and despair.” — No Depression
“Beautifully articulate lyrics to atmospheric vocals.” — Americana UK
“Though Northern Michigan native Anna Ash has been making sparse, aching, and soulful indie out of Los Angeles (and her stunning 2016 debut Floodlights, which was recorded in Minnesota), we still consider her one of ours — and she’s got new music coming. For her first single in three years and the first from her forthcoming album L.A. Flame, “Apologies” taps into some fast-talking OG Sheryl Crow shit and swaps the slow and sultry Midwest musings of Floodlights for a sharp-tongued, rock-tinged, turn-on-her-heels moment.” — Detroit Metro Times
“L.A. Flame” is an album of uneasy victories, reluctant truces and gut-wrenching setbacks, which Ash, in her honeyed quaver, turns into truth serum, sips of which can turn you both steely-eyed and misty-eyed. The album backgrounder accurately suggests “pulling off the road somewhere between Silver Lake and Bakersfield just to roll a cigarette, kick at the gravel and brood.” The music is a mix of classic rock and Americana, as performed by a cast of L.A. luminaries such as Aaron Stern, Matthew LaRocca, Jason Roberts, Brian Whelan, Theo Katzman, Lee Pardini, James Cornelison, Elizabeth Goodfellow, Kat Myers, Gabe Noel and Dan Horne. — Buzzbands.la – Kevin Bronson
“Floodlights” then ends the disc with the most bittersweet track of the album. It is a self-contemplative song that realizes both the loneliness and necessity of being alone, along with the inability of true expression and irrational lessening of interest when we actually get what we want. It’s the realization of our deep insecurities and inexplicable nuances that make us the human beings we are. “Wish I could tell you what I’m needing, tell you what I’m wanting, tell you what I’ve never had. But if you gave it all to me, I wouldn’t want you nearly as bad.”
