Anohni Hopelessness

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "ANOHNI observes horror in her art unflinchingly, magnifying it in the process, and transforming shock value into something more valuable."
"It's both a thrilling record and an occasionally confounding one; a statement that often invokes tightly controlled rage as a means of slapping the listener out of what one imagines has become our collective stupor. In short, it's a protest record."
"The lyrics are unrelenting in their anger and pointedly accusatory -- of specific countries, of terrorism and warfare, of environmental abuse, of self. But ANOHNI's voice, a dramatic, sometimes operatic, often soulful croon, conveys warmth, tenderness and, contradictory to the title, hope."
Ranked #42 in Mojo's 'The 50 Best Albums Of 2016' -- "[A] vigorous tirade against the human and environmental cost of the nihilistic devotion to global capital evinced by The Man..."
"[A]n album of righteous political fury that's all the more powerful for being delivered so exquisitely."
