Anna Iachino, a Canadian poet and vocalist who has lived in Copenhagen since 2007, will be releasing her long-awaited debut album this month. A partner in the group MonkeyRat with Faroese born bassist and composer Arnold Ludvig, Anna says the album presents a musical fusion of funk, rap, spoken word, soul, hip hop, r’n’b, retro, jazz, and alternative rock music that expresses her political, social, romantic and comical views. The album’s title track summarizes her opinion of the Danish “jantelaw”.The 12-track album, produced by Tutl Records, will be launched at a release party at Mojo, on Thursday, February 18th at 6 pm. The album is already available in stores, distributed by Danacord. Tracks have been placed on the Espace Musique program on CBC Radio in Canada.
MonkeyRat’s fans have compared MonkeyRat to a cross between Skunk Anansie, Frank Zappa, Grace Jones, White Stripes and Nina Hagen. The group’s web site is: www.myspace.com/monkeyratmusic
