The longtime Los Angeles resident (by way of West Virginia and New York City) has a new EP coming out featuring her 12-minute opus, “An Open Letter to an Open Letter,” which with its chorus of “Seriously, what the fuck?” (also the title of her show) is classic Magnuson.
“An Open Letter to an Open Letter” is now available on Bandcamp.

The lastest issue of OC Weekly features an article on Ann’s show tomorrow at The Steve Allen Theater:
These days it feels like we need avant garde goddess Ann Magnuson more than ever. In an age where we’re constantly bombarded with mindless entertainment, this legendary writer/ singer/ performance artist reminds us that the most transcendent form of escape happens when we finally close our eyes and turn on our brains. That’s the thought process behind Dream Girl, her first album in over a decade.
Ann will be a guest on Señor Amor’s radio show, The Molotov Cocktail Hour tonight, from 10 pm until 12 midnight PST. If you miss it, it will be archived later. Click here for the livestream.
They will be playing great music- new stuff, old stuff, very groovy stuff- and discussing how we are going to deal with the political situation at hand. (hint: it’s 1968/1972 all over again) Tune in and turn on but don’t drop out! We all need each other!!
