SELK

After a positive critical response to Anna Jordan’s first EP ‘Dust’ in 2013,  she formed her band SELK and released their debut album Beast in 2016, described by Hot Press as "…an atmospheric, evocative, and at times, sinister collection. Beast is well worth grappling with."  

SELK followed the album with single 'Moments’, featuring a collaboration between Anna and Oscar nominated composer Javier Navarrete (Pan's Labyrinth), followed by 'Silent Sea’ in May 2020 on which Javier also collaborated.

Jordan has established herself as a serious composer with fruitful contributions to soundtracks for movies such as 'Snap' directed by Carmel Winters (best known for her film Float Like A Butterfly) and 'Breakfast On Pluto' starring Cillian Murphy. Anna’s moving compositions lend well to film and more recently SELK’s track ‘Salt’ was added to the soundtrack of 2019 thriller ‘Greta’ starring Chloe Grace Moretz.

Anna's most recent single release 'Spill' from the new record has been receiving rave reviews, and was included in the latest Hotpress A&R 'One's to watch' series:

"With delicate guitar strumming, welcome violin instrumentation and Jordan's angelic, almost spoken word vocal utterances, it's a starry-eyed track that belongs in an Oscar-nominated indie movie. Cellist Kate Ellis and violin virtuoso Cora Venus Lunny add to the gorgeousness. If Rough Trade’s River Lea imprint are thinking of getting their cheque book out again, they might want to look in the Dubliner’s direction."(Hotpress)

The second SELK album is due for release in early 2023.

"Drawing from a broad sonic palette SELK’s raw, unshackled songs possess an inherent power which prove mesmerising in a live environment" (Hotpress Gig Review)
