Lost In Blue is the brand new album from Anni Hogan (Marc & The Mambas, The Willing Sinners, La Magia). An astounding, attentive work on an emotive shared journey. Songs in despair searching for hope, moments of monumental horror, and outpouring screams of consciousness. A poignant, bleak album for these times. Lost In Blue has elements of orchestral delight, dark cabaret, and modern vaudeville, with Anni's trademark torch songs evoking the dimly-lit corners of bohemian Soho and reigniting the sordid torment of those illustrious Marc & The Mambas days. All this is wrapped in the magical vocals of: Lydia Lunch, Wolfgang Flür (ex-Kraftwerk), Gavin Friday (ex-Virgin Prunes), Kid Congo Powers (The Gun Club, ex-Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, ex-The Cramps), Richard Strange (Doctors Of Madness), and many more. Produced by Dave Ball (Soft Cell) and Riccardo Mulhall, the brilliant guests' lyrical content responds perfectly to the music, resonating with and cohabiting the sonics created. Also features Celine Hispiche, Scarlet West, and John Fiddler. Photography by Peter Ashworth. File next to: Marc & The Mambas, Jacques Brel, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. CD version includes bonus track.

Mountain is an artistic collaboration between musicians Anni Hogan, Robert Strachan and Itchy Ear, film maker Bob Wass and mountaineer Cathy O'Dowd. Hogan and Itchy Ear originally worked on a series of piano pieces inspired by René Daumal's Mount Analogue and the superior wisdom of mountains, using O'Dowd's Himalayan conquests for particular authentic inspiration. Robert and Anni used these pieces and the Himalayan peaks as a template for painting a soundwave soundscape around the piano compositions. Cathy has supplied all the photographs for the album sleeve, beautifully edited by Abby Helasdottir, and Cathy has performed a fascinating and revealing monologue over the piece "Deathzone." The Mountain film has been created by Bob Wass from Cathy's original film footage of her Everest expeditions. The film and soundtrack are an experimental "journey" exploring the nature of "journey and mountains" sonically and visually.
