The sweet, beautiful sadness of Anohni's voice (she was previously known as Antony Hegarty) has always been only half the story in her best work. On her recordings with Antony and the Johnsons, the dramatic swell of Anohni's voice was wedded to graceful melodies and lyrics that told deeply emotional, humanistic tales of the struggle for and acceptance of love in a hostile world. Anohni's music so often comprises elegant but passionate stories of the personal made public that her first album after adopting her new name, 2016's Hopelessness, comes as something of a shock. The nuanced, organic musical accompaniment of Anohni's most celebrated work has been replaced with cool, often aggressive electronic soundscapes created by co-producers Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never. And instead of singing tales of love and desperation, here Anohni moves from the personal to the political, taking on global warming, drone warfare, government intrusion in our lives, violence in all its forms, and her frustrations with Barack Obama's presidency in no uncertain terms. While one could dance to some of these tracks if it were absolutely necessary, the music feels harsh and apocalyptic more often than not. And though Anohni's voice remains strong and passionate, a thread of bitterness runs through most of these performances (not inappropriate, given the themes of the songs). "Crisis" and the title song are two of the few moments here where the warmth and compassion that were Anohni's trademarks are audible, even as they're contrasted with the jagged surfaces of Mohawke and Point Never's music. Hopelessness is a powerful and uncompromising work, but it's also purposefully difficult, and demands the listener accept it entirely on its own terms. This music leaves no doubt that Anohni remains a strikingly talented vocalist and songwriter, but where the warm heart of 2006's I Am a Bird Now reached out to the listener, Hopelessness instead throws up a wall as it launches an assault on an unjust world. Anohni's targets deserve all the fury she unleashes upon them, but that doesn't make this any easier to engage with, even if you agree with what Anohni has to say. ~ Mark Deming

商品の紹介

2015年末にハドソン・モホーク、ワンオートリックス・ポイント・ネヴァーとコラボした楽曲「4 DEGREES」を突如リリースし大きな話題となったアントニー・ヘガティよる新プロジェクトANOHNI(アノーニ)が遂にベールを脱ぐ!
これまでにアントニー・アンド・ザ・ジョンソンズ名義で合計4枚のスタジオ・アルバムを発表。03年にルー・リードのバック・ヴォーカルに抜擢され、アルバムの録音にも参加。05年にリリースした2ndアルバム『アイ・アム・ア・バード・ナウ』では英国最高峰音楽賞マーキュリー・プライズを受賞、老舗音楽雑誌MOJOではその年の「アルバム・オブ・ザ・イヤー」にも選出さるなど一躍彼女の名が世界中に知れ渡ることになった。09年にリリースした3rdアルバム『クライング・ライト』では彼女が敬愛する日本の舞踏家、大野一雄の写真をアートワークに用いたことで話題となり、翌年には赤坂の草月会館にて初来日公演を開催。大野一雄の息子である大野慶人の舞踏とコラボレーションしたステージは絶賛された。
これまでにもビョークやルーファス・ウェインライト、ブライアン・フェリーなど様々なアーティストとコラボレーションを行ってきている彼女が新プロジェクトANOHNI(アノーニ)では現在のエレクトロシーンの最重要アーティスト、ハドソン・モホーク、ワンオートリックス・ポイント・ネヴァーとコラボ!実験的な音楽と「天使のようだ」と評される奇跡の歌声により、誰も予期しなかった傑作が誕生した!

Spin - "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." Rolling Stone - 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." NME - "[A]n album of righteous political fury that's all the more powerful for being delivered so exquisitely." Magnet - "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." Mojo - 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..."

ハドソン・モホークとOPN──各自のディスコグラフィーに節目を打ち込んだ作品が、昨2015年に揃って登場したのは、水面下で進められていた本プロジェクトの影響も少なからずあったのだろう。両者のマキシマリズムとテクスチャーの展示力が、主役のアントニー・ヘガティ改めアノーニの多彩な表情を引き出すことに成功している。名刺代わりには十分すぎた先行曲"4 Degrees"や"Drone Bomb Me"では、ウィークエンドやDVSNを彷彿とさせるアトモスフェリックなR&Bをクリエイト。ほかにも、アメリカン・ドリームを皮肉った電子ポップ、ノイズと雨音に濡れながら地声で唸るように歌う米大統領の名を冠したハードコア・レクイエムなど、辛辣で緊張感溢れるトピックを次々と音楽的カタルシスに回収していく様が実に痛快だ。〈絶望〉という表題とは裏腹に、ヴェイパーウェイヴ世代の(良い意味で)白けたプロダクションに血を通わすソウルフルな救済作品にして、期待を遥かに凌駕した傑作!
