"4 Degrees" is a wonderful new track from ANOHNI, lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons. The collaborative track features production from electronic heavyweights Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never, so as you might expect, it's a banger.
ANOHNI has such a uniquely sharp vocal tone, rich and full, and a gorgeous lead atop the huge, heavy beats and swelling orchestral layers. The atmosphere blooms and bulges as it progresses, creating a lush, yet fluid atmosphere. This is a really, really gorgeous track.
In her own words, the artist explains that, "I have grown tired of grieving for humanity, and I also thought I was not being entirely honest by pretending that I am not a part of the problem... "4 Degrees" is kind of a brutal attempt to hold myself accountable, not just valorize my intentions, but also reflect on the true impact of my behaviors."
"4 Degrees" is the first single from ANOHNI's upcoming album Hopelessness. It's available now via Rough Trade Records.
