ANOHNI
One of the most affecting voices in modern music, a trembling vibrato carrying songs about grief, ecology and the body, lately backed by a warm soul band.

About ANOHNI
ANOHNI was born in England, spent part of her youth in California and built her career in New York, first fronting Antony and the Johnsons. That group's chamber-pop album I Am a Bird Now, with its piano, strings and guests including Lou Reed, won the Mercury Prize. She also sang on Hercules and Love Affair's club track Blind and worked with Björk.
Under the ANOHNI name she released Hopelessness, made with Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never, which set songs about drone warfare, surveillance and climate collapse to hard electronic production, as on 4 Degrees and Drone Bomb Me. Her song Manta Ray, from the documentary Racing Extinction, was nominated for an Academy Award. My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, credited to ANOHNI and the Johnsons, moved to a guitar-led soul sound produced by Jimmy Hogarth.
