ANOHNI
“4 Degrees”
HOPELESSNESS (forthcoming on Secretly Canadian)
In a Facebook post announcing her 5th album, ANOHNI (formerly known as Antony) described the disc as ” an electronic record with some sharp teeth.” That is an apt description of its HudMo/Oneohtrix Point Never-assisted lead single, “4 Degrees,” a ferocious internal investigation into her (read: our) role in the myriad sins of the human race. Flanked by crashing, industrial percussion and skyscraping synths, ANOHNI’s unassailable, unique vocals are at their mellifluous best, soaring over the chaos below. Disarming in lyric and melody, it is stunning first statement from what could be a truly special LP.
