"my mother's gentle touch, my father's hand on my throat" lol we get it, you really hate men and are trying desperately to be a beautiful woman. The music still sucks though.

The number of songs is not consistent with the number of pics in the cover. C-

2.0 poorliterallyzach | March 18th 17

Anohni goes all the way overboard with this extremely obvious and hamfisted EP that takes the political discourse of Hopelessness and channels it through a megaphone. For some of the interesting instrumental tracks like 'Paradise' and 'In My Dreams,' there's just so much cringey BS to endure to get there. Like you can only hear someone shout "I DON'T WANT TO RICOCHET" so many times before laughing. Hopefully she takes her next project a little less seriously and with a little more levity because if she goes any further down this path it's going to turn into a joke.

3.5 greatTheManMachine | May 9th 17

Last year's scraps, perhaps -- but I dig the decreased pop-anthem approach and trickier back-n-forth between Oneohtrix Point Never's spacey stark and Hudson Mohawke's harebrained boom-bap. Melodrama and stunted political statements remain, but "you're a mean old man" and "I'm gonna hate you" and presumable earth-crumbling get the point across righteously enough; and whether buried in bass+squeals or conspicuous+quavery or a condignly choked up guest-fretter's queries as conclusion, the voxin' is defiant and haunting. Side Note: fuck transphobic Sputnikers.

B-sides from HOPELESSNESS? The lyrics remain in stride but unfortunately the music itself is a fairly drastic step down from ANOHNI's controversial 2016 release. Music is a great place to make a statement or convey one's personal experience but just like on HOPELESSNESS with 'Obama', songs like 'Jesus Will Kill You' just taint the entire experience. Are you trying too hard to be edgy or do you truly believe some of the things you are saying? Unfortunately either way it just doesn't produce good music, in this case.

1.5 very poorFlipTrackz | March 19th 17

Anohni continues to make incredibly annoying politically driven music with no sense of self awareness. What's
new?
