Jan 22, 2025You & i are Earth is full of love songs, both to a person and to Ireland (her home of the last several years), and it’s a joyful thing to hear the peaceful contentment and sense of wonder that emanates from Savage across the record’s 10 songs.

MojoJan 21, 2025Sensuous and calm, yet cut through with deep strumming guitar and a rolling lilt, it has a folk rock drift that's less ribald, less edgy than the theatrical spark of 2021's A Common Turn and in|FLUX (2023). [Mar 2025, p.90]

UncutJan 21, 2025Lankum producer John 'Spud' Murphy helps bring form to these candid candlelit songs of rapture and reflection, while guests include Cormac MacDiarmada and multi-instrumentalist Anna Mieke, whose strings prove gently transportive. [Feb 2025, p.40]

Jan 21, 2025It may last just 32 minutes, but You & I Are Earth never feels rushed or slight. There’s a kind of glow to many of its tracks and it’s that glow which gives this record its own power. .... The best album of Anna B Savage’s career to date.

Jan 28, 2025Her acoustic guitar’s warmth wears on you by the album’s end; the most compelling parts of You & i are Earth, coincidentally, are the ones that lean into the expansive, sweeping side of folk music or intricately layered sounds, transcending the gentle dullness of the singer-songwriter genre.

Jan 27, 2025The album's overriding ethos is expressed more clearly on tracks like "I Reach for You in My Sleep" and closer "The Rest of Our Lives," whose warm, layered harmonies, nimble fingerpicking, and gentle background shimmer evoke and encourage sweet dreams.
