Paradise

The revelry of 2016's 'Hopelessness' helped reinvent Anohni (f/k/a Antony and The Johnsons) in the mold of staunch political agitator. Anohni speaks of deep concern for our very livelihood, as a species and as a civil society. With critical acclaim from The New York Times, The Guardian, The New Yorker, FADER and many more, 'Hopelessness' came to represent a new and necessary musical language.

Anohni's 'Paradise' EP is the extension, into 2017, of a language of protest and distress. The songs on here -- already featured in her arresting live performances -- were made during the same sessions as 'Hopelessness', are unique touch points for old issues and newly minted geopolitical crises writ macabre.
