There are more than one artists by this name. 1. Star Anise is a singer songwriter from Scotland. Haunting vocals and rich chords typify a Star Anise song. Her stark folk guitar style is enriched by washes of warm electronics and echoed harmonies. Centering around themes such as isolation, heartache and searching, Star Anise's music reaches for solace to the lonely and comfort to the wounded. Textures of PJ Harvey and Laura Veirs coat her singing style while the production mirrors her love of lo fi artists such as Elliott Smith. 2. Star Anise is a rock/pop/Indie band from Perth, Australia. What began as two Perth songwriters seeking a two-man rhythm section quickly evolved into a unique musical force. With an eclectic range of songs spanning from hard-hitting angry rock to light-hearted cheeky pop, they create original flavours in unexpected ways. The band is currently gigging around Perth and regional areas. Armed with their newly completed EP, Star Anise are ready to take on the world!
