The Crying Light

by ANOHNI and The Johnsons

The Crying Light cover art

'The Crying Light' finds ANOHNI and the Johnsons shifting from the interior focus of their previous work to a broader, more universal exploration of humanity's relationship with the natural world. The album is defined by its lush and controlled orchestral arrangements, co-developed by Anohni and composer Nico Muhly, which provide a meticulously crafted foundation for Anohni's singular, emotive vocals. Thematically, the record serves as both a personal environmentalist statement and a dedication to the profound influence of Japanese butoh dancer Kazuo Ohno, whose portrait graces the album's cover.
