AnaEgge was born in Estevan, Saskatchewan, and grew up in the small northwest North Dakota town of Ambrose, where her father farmed wheat.
The Egges, described by Ana as latter-day hippies, traveling back and forth between North Dakota and New Mexico in a '69 Dodge van through much of Ana's youth until they settled in Silver City, New Mexico, to open an alternative school when Ana was 12.
Her rich childhood experiences and keen perception led her to songwriting, and at the encouragement of Sarah Brown, Egge went to Austin in 1994 to record a demo.
When AnaEgge emerged on the scene in the mid-'90s, the tall, sweet-voiced 19-year-old from New Mexico who made her own guitar was an unlikely transplant to Brooklyn.
But with Out Past the Lights,'' Egge explores the hunger to take experiences as they come life is a puzzle, not a plan'' she sings on a hidden track and shades her thoughts with the world-weary detachment of jaded beauty.
Egge keeps her shimmer at a simmer on this made-for-mornings album, which eschews vocal gymnastics for a darker, deeper and ultimately more satisfying journey.
