Strange Power!, the fifth record from Durham, NC-based songwriter and poet Anne Malin Ringwalt, emerges from the darkest waters of the self into a world remade. Releasing in conjunction with her second book of poetry, What Floods (Inside the Castle, Oct. 2024), Strange Power! overflows with Ringwalt’s teeming and sensuous personal symbolry: glowing lilacs and gentle queens, dolphins wild and girls who grew up brave — T.S. Eliot sung by Cat Power, backed by Mount Eerie. She sings: “I rose up from water.”
