Anavae Members, Gear & Sound

Anavae is a dynamic musical duo originating from London, known for their evocative blend of pop emo, pixie, and slayer genres. The group consists of Rebecca Need-Menear (vocals) and Jamie Finch (guitar, production). Together, they weave intricate sonic landscapes that marry emotional intensity with ethereal melodies, carving a unique niche within the alternative music scene. Anavae’s ability to combine raw lyrical content with polished production has garnered them a dedicated following and a reputation for captivating live performances.

Anavae's sound is characterized by its rich, textured layers and emotive vocals. The use of dynamic microphones, such as the Shure SM7B, helps capture the nuanced range of Rebecca's voice, adding warmth and presence to their recordings. Jamie's guitar work often features a mix of clean and distorted tones, achieved through gear like the Line 6 Helix, which allows for precise control over a variety of effects and soundscapes. The combination of his Squier Classic Vibe ‘70s Telecaster® Custom and the Manson MA-1 Evo provides a versatile foundation for both shimmering riffs and heavier, driving rhythms. The result is a sound that is both expansive and intimate, inviting listeners into Anavae's emotionally charged world.
