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 Marc Bolan There Was A Time : Home Demos Volume 1 Rock And Pop | Easy Action | 1LP Released 4th September 2018 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Marc Bolan There Was A Time : Home Demos Volume 1 £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Easy Action SKU: EARS141LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 4th September 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Field Music Binding Time Rock And Pop | Memphis Industries | 1LP Released 20th April 2024 £27.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Field Music Binding Time £27.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Memphis Industries SKU: ADD1-016LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Metric Old World Underground, Where Are You Now?
