Rough Trade is a multinational label that was started by Geoff Travis in 1976 as a London record-shop. It quickly grew into an independent label and distributor, collaborating with notable labels such as 4AD, Factory Records, and One Little Indian. The label's catalogue numbering system for singles/EPs included prefixes like RT### and RTT###CD for different formats. Albums were numbered sequentially as ROUGH### with extensions for different formats.In the early 1990s, Rough Trade faced financial difficulties after expanding into the US market. The US branch was shut down and the German branch ended up in the Zomba Music Group. One Little Indian provided financing and took over the label in the UK, retaining ownership of key releases like A.R. Kane albums. Geoff Travis eventually regained control of Rough Trade around 1999–2000 and re-launched it alongside Tugboat Records.

Anohni is a British singer, composer, and visual artist. Born in 1971 in Chichester, West Sussex, England, UK, she initially gained recognition as Antony Hegarty with her Mercury Music Prize winning album "I Am a Bird Now" (2004) as part of the band Antony And The Johnsons. Now known as Anohni, her album "Hopelessness" (2016) was also nominated for the Mercury Music Prize that year.

Anohni, the singer of Antony and the Johnsons, releases Hopelessness on Rough Trade / Secretly Canadian. A collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke, Hopelessness is a dance record with soulful vocals and lyrics addressing subjects including surveillance, drone warfare and ecocide. The album seeks to disrupt assumptions about popular music through the collision of electronic sound and highly politicized lyrics. It's a contemporary, seductive and cutting edge statement from a true one off.
