About the album:

In their album River Charms, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Anju seeks steady wisdom in the waters and lands of Mni Sota Makoce. Arrangements penned in the aftermath of the 2020 pandemic and the Minneapolis uprising delve into the knottiness of grief and belonging, finding a soft place to land in ten tracks that showcase Anju’s ornate lyricism and melodic weaving. The singer-songwriter gracefully pivots between gazing outwards and within, building with and towards the musical and natural communities that surround them. As a follow-up to their EP Elaichi - Steeped in Community (2025), River Charms is produced by Anju with an ear for the grain of each instrument and the contributions of skilled collaborators who support their songwriting and story. -Paola Qossermelli Messina
