The Anchoress, known for her striking lyrics and powerful sound, has just dropped her latest single, “I Had A Baby, Not A Lobotomy,” from the album As We Once Were. This track humorously critiques the bewildering comments she faced after becoming a mother.

Catherina Anne Davies, the creative force behind The Anchoress, channeled her frustrations into this satirical anthem, addressing the well-meaning yet absurd remarks she received, such as, “I guess you’ll be retiring now?” and “Guess now there won’t be any more tours?” Instead of letting these comments get her down, she transformed them into a relatable and witty piece of art.

Davies describes the songwriting process as therapeutic, allowing her to express the challenges of motherhood while maintaining a lighthearted tone. The song has resonated with many, including fellow musicians who share similar experiences.

With As We Once Were, The Anchoress explores themes of family and legacy, featuring voices from four generations of women in her family. The album is now available, and fans can expect a unique blend of synth-heavy sounds, thanks to her recent work with vintage equipment.
