Album Notes & Community Reviews

Backed by the Danish National Chamber Orchestra, Anohni reimagines her profound art-pop catalog within a completely symphonic framework. The recording eschews traditional rock instrumentation entirely, allowing her distinctive, tremulous vibrato to float over lush, devastatingly gorgeous classical arrangements while also delivering powerful spoken-word treatises on feminism and the environment.
