“On the crushing and glorious HOPELESSNESS, Anohni collaborates with Hudson Mohawke and OPN to create something new: the electronic dance anthem as visceral protest song.”
“Anohni's Hopelessness is stricken with grief, but not defeated”
“ANOHNI's output under Antony and the Johnsons was staggering in its complexity and vision, the sound a kaleidoscope of stained glass, cracked but never shattered. HOPELESSNESS is her first album under her new name, and with that comes a new clarity and purpose to her songwriting, an ownership and authority over her artistic voice that we've not yet seen before. Working with Oneohtrix Point Never”
“Much has changed since Antony Hegarty’s last album, 2010’s ‘Swanlights’. Now calling herself Anohni, she’s traded in her outsider folk cabaret for a cutting edge electronic pop sound co-produced by Hudson Mohawke and avant-garde synth guru Oneohtrix Point Never. But those aren’t even the most remarkable things about ‘Hopelessness’, an album of righteous political fury that’s all the more powerful ”
“Trans artist mixes deep politics and club-pop to create a hauntingly powerful statement”
“ANOHNI goes solo on her latest album, delivering some of the most politically charged art pop to come out in years.”
