Anohni's Paradise EP is the extension, into 2017, of a language of protest and distress. The songs on here -- already featured in her arresting live performances -- were made during the same sessions as Hopelessness, but rather than trimmings or bonus material, they are, instead, unique touch points for old problems and newly minted geo-political crises writ macabre.

Hopelessness (stylized as HOPELESSNESS) is the upcoming debut solo album from Anohni, the lead singer of Antony and the Johnsons, to be released on May 6, 2016 on Secretly Canadian and Rough Trade Records. It features co-production by Hudson Mohawke and Oneohtrix Point Never.
