Through a personal lens, ANOHNI addresses loss of loved ones, inequality, alienation, acceptance, cruelty, ecocide, devastation wrought by Abrahamic theologies, Future Feminism, and the possibility that we might yet transform our ways of thinking, our spiritual ideas, our societal structures, and our relationships with the rest of nature. On her first full album since 2016’s HOPELESSNESS, she explains the creative process was painstaking, yet also inspired, joyful, and intimate, a renewal and a renaming of her response to the world as she sees it. “Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.” ANOHNI’s approach since her last record has shifted from someone tasked with challenging global denial, to an artist seeking to support others on the front lines. “I learned with HOPELESSNESS that I can provide a soundtrack that might fortify people in their work, in their activism, in their dreaming and decision-making. I can sing of an awareness that makes others feel less alone, people for whom the frank articulation of these frightening times is not a source of discomfort but a cause for identification and relief. On “It Must Change,”ANOHNI soulfully describes systems in collapse with a note of compassion for humanity: “The truth is I always thought you were beautiful in your own way // That’s why this is so sad.” ANOHNI’s voice is sensual and smoothed, selectively reaching to the edges of what it can contain. “We’re not getting out of here // No one’s getting out of here // This is our world,” she murmurs. A portrait of legendary human rights activist Marsha P. Johnson taken by Alvin Baltrop features on the cover, reflecting a 25-year relationship with the memory of Johnson that ANOHNI has held space for in the presentation of her own work. Elsewhere, the album artwork states ”IT’S TIME TO FEEL WHAT’S REALLY HAPPENING”. In some ways it feels as if she is reaching across her life’s expression, and has found a moment of unique composure, wearing her long exploration of disarming intensity, with the maturity of a painter carefully choosing her colors. “I want the work to be useful, to help others move through these conversations we are now facing, to move with dignity and resilience through this bitter dawning.” Artist ANOHNI and the Johnsons Genre Rock And Pop Label Rough Trade Buying Options 180g 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 180g , 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings It Must Change Go Ahead Sliver Of Ice Can’t Scapegoat It’s My Fault Rest There Wasn’t Enough Why Am I Alive Now You Be Free Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Mark Lanegan Blues Funeral Rock And Pop | 4AD | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 3rd February 2012 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mark Lanegan Blues Funeral £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 4AD SKU: CAD3202 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 3rd February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jimi Hendrix Lover Man Rock And Pop | Sony Music | 7", Single Released 22nd February 2018 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jimi Hendrix Lover Man £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Music SKU: 19075823997 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 22nd February 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rolling Stones, The Aftermath (UK Edition) Rock And Pop | UMR | 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £26.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Rolling Stones, The Aftermath (UK Edition) £26.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMR SKU: 7186371 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Belle Game Fear/Nothing Rock And Pop | Arts & Crafts | 1LP Released 29th September 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Belle Game Fear/Nothing £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Arts & Crafts SKU: AC134LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Torres Thirstier Rock And Pop | Merge Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released 30th July 2021 £20.00 - £21.00 Select options Torres Thirstier £20.00 - £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Merge Records Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl, Includes Download Code Released Date: 30th July 2021 Read More Select options View Product Quick View T.
