Anna McClellan

Emerging from America’s heartland, Anna McClellan established herself as an indie pop singer and songwriter known for her straightforward yet reflective style through the release of her debut full-length, Fire Flames, during 2015. This effort secured her a contract with Father/Daughter Records, the imprint responsible for her later output, such as the 2020 third album I saw first light.

Hailing from Omaha, Nebraska, McClellan initiated local performances of her piano-driven compositions upon turning 17. Majestic Litter issued Fire Flames on cassette in 2015. Greta Kline became an admirer of the album’s unconventional, discontented tracks and close-knit ensemble setups, leading to an invitation for McClellan to join tour dates supporting Frankie Cosmos. Recognizing her potential, Father/Daughter Records inked a deal with the artist and released her sophomore LP, Yes and No, in 2018. During this period, she spent a short time living in New York City prior to heading back to Omaha, where she captured her next record alongside area players and companions. Father/Daughter Records made I saw first light available toward the end of 2020.
