Anohni has announced My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, the first studio album under her Anohni and the Johnsons moniker in more than a decade. The LP is out July 7th via Secretly Canadian and Rough Trade, and features the lead single, “It Must Change.”
In a press release, Anohni explained that Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On was “a really important touchstone” while creating the new album, adding, “Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.”
Anohni began working on My Back Was a Bridge with soul producer Jimmy Hogarth in 2022, when they created a series of demos together before assembling a studio band including Leo Abrahams, Chris Vatalaro, Sam Dixon, and string arranger Rob Moose to record the project. Pre-orders are ongoing.
“I want the record to be useful,” Anohni said about the album.

Frightened Rabbit have announced details and a release date for their new album Pedestrian Verse. The follow-up to 2009's The Winter of Mixed Drinks will be the Scottish band's fourth studio record and first major label release, through Atlantic Records. Frontman Scott Hutchinson said of the new album: "The title is taken from a lyric in 'State Hospital'. I felt it was a nicely faceted title, with enough layered meaning to remain open to interpretation. Above all though, it was a gauntlet I threw down for myself. "If you call your album Pedestrian Verse, you can't settle for any old lyric. It forced me to better myself. In fact, I think we all stepped up on this album and I believe that our producer Leo Abrahams had a major role in that step. "He threw our music into areas we had not previously imagined.

London, Oct 9: Singer Brett Anderson has revealed he and producer Leo Abrahams co-wrote the songs for his new album.
The Suede frontman has just released his fourth solo album 'Black Rainbows' but he says he had no material ready but the music started to come quickly once the pair started jamming, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
'We didn't actually write any songs before we went into the studio. First of all I thought, 'You're insane.' But once we set up we had over 16 hours of music. Then everything fell into place, five or six songs later we suddenly started writing interesting stuff, it was quite an amazing way to work, there's something to be said about being.

Brian Eno has been releasing a series of performance videos, one each week for the past seven, featuring live improvised compositions with collaborators Jon Hopkins and Leo Abrahams. All of them, called Seven Sessions On a Milk Sea, are up on various sites around the world, The New York Times, Japan's RO69, etc, and you can link to them all from here. [Pitchfork]
Each was shot (and hued differently for each session, red, gold, blue, no your video card is not burning out) in Eno's London studio during the making of his new album, "Small Craft On A Milk Sea."
You'll have to head to the sites themselves to watch Eno work his magic as none of the videos are embeddable. Before you do, watch this amusing interview in which Dick Flash asks Eno if his work should even be called music at all, or if it is a new...

Few official details are available about the new album, though Exclaim says that a new album could come as early as October or November. The composers' last proper solo studio set, "Another Day on Earth," dropped in 2005.

Film Review: Hunger
Cannes, Un Certain Regard
Turner Prize-winning artist Steve McQueen brings the key tenets required to win Britain's top honor for modern art to directing his first film, "Hunger", and so it is trite, grim and feebly provocative.
It tells of the last days of Bobby Sands, a Northern Irishman who died in 1981 in Belfast's hellish Maze Prison following a 66-day hunger strike. The film, which opened the Festival de Cannes' Un Certain Regard sidebar, combines scenes more suited to an art installation with static theatrical encounters and cliched flights of artistic fancy.
Violent, bleak and depressing, "Hunger" depicts lifelong Irish Republican Army fighter Sands (Michael Fassbender) as a martyr and may prosper where audiences are already inclined to that view, with prospects slim elsewhere.
No context is provided beyond the steely but patronizing words of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and there is no mention of the nature of the violent crimes perpetrated by Sands and his fellow inmates. Convicted on charges involving armed attacks and arson, Sands demanded the rights of a prisoner of war, which included wearing civilian clothes and the receipt of gift parcels.
Lacking any new insights on the fateful paradox that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter or that the imposition of punitive measures demeans all parties, the film adds nothing to the debate over broader issues involving such places as Guantanamo Bay and Abu Graib.
McQueen and co-scripter Enda Walsh break the film into four uneven parts, with first the introduction of a brutal prison guard (Stuart Graham) and his suburban home life, which is prosaic save for the constant threat of being bombed or shot.
A new prisoner (Brian Milligan) enters the cell of an entrenched convict (Liam McMahon) who teaches him the ways of IRA rebellion, which included smearing the walls with blood and feces, smuggling notes and small items using bodily orifices, and bracing for the malevolent treatment of the prison guards.
Attention then moves to Sands, with a 22-minute scene in which he relates his ideals and plans to a weary priest (Liam Cunningham). The remainder of the film, in which Fassbender demonstrates a commitment to the demands of the role beyond the call of duty, shows in great detail the gruesome effect on a man's body of completely rejecting nourishment. It's not a pretty sight.
