Aside from providing songs for the likes of Natalie Imbruglia, and acting as guitarist in Eddi Reader's band, Hewerdine has released a string of soft and thoughtful albums dealing with life in all its complex glory. Anon (such a Hewerdine title, that, so aggressively unassuming) continues on that path.
Accompanied by sweet, slightly folksy guitars, mandolins and, on one occasion, a maudlin harmonium, Hewerdine sings of ordinary but nevertheless vital concerns. "Roundabout" considers an innocent youth and wasted life; "Dream Baby" seems to bless a miscarried child; "Hunger" ponders true love undermined by lust; while "Extras", a quiet anthem for the meek and decent, could be described as Hewerdine's "Common People". And there's love. Both "Hunger" and "Mapping the Human Heart" contain beautiful portrayals of how that really is. Thus Anon contains more truth than the apocalyptic bleatings of Nu Metal, the empty platitudes of Oasis, and the faux-confessional howling of Alanis Morissette. For that, it should be cherished. --Dominic Wills
