Typing “Anhai”, I find a scant paper trail of streaming services and a decade-old Myspace page. One of the two releases online is titled “Anhai Live Performance,” three musicians, smiling in sepia, seemingly caught off-guard. I’ve gathered that they’re from Canada, active in the 1990s and one of their members was/is composer Bob Wiseman.
“See You See Me”, part forest folk, part refined glossolalia, radiates warmth. It manages to be silly, manic, & revelatory in the same breath. The singer, perhaps the titular Anhai, hurdles through permutations of her own voice, reacting to & embodying the sounds of birds, strings & percussion. Her rhythm & phrasing are our guide, through jarring & familiar terrain.
