Regretfully Overlooked in 2016: Anohni

March 09, 2017 by Royal Stuart

I always liked hearing Antony and the Johnsons when they came up on KEXP, but I never felt compelled to listen to their music outside of those select, serendipitous moments. In 2016, the band’s lead singer Antony Hegarty, otherwise known as Anohni, released her first solo album, Hopelessness. Where Antony and the Johnsons were good, this album is great. Anohni’s voice is a Björk 45 slowed down to 33 RPM, and the music is a mash of electronic, analog, and otherworldly. Get on it.
