Rough Trade

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.

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.

Back In Stock

Anohni will release Paradise, the companion EP to last year's Hopelessness, one of the most critically acclaimed and discussed albums of 2016, via Rough Trade Records. In collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke, on Paradise, Anohni seeks to support activist conversations and disrupt assumptions about popular music through the collision of electronic sound and highly politicized lyrics. Paradise includes new songs as well as material recently debuted live. On the title track, Paradise, Anohni voices ecstatic alienation, describing a dystopian life filled with horror, awe, comfort and threat. She expresses a sense of disembodiment: "Myself, I'm here... not here, as a point of consciousness." The music is wild and invigorating with a heavy beat conceived by Hudson Mohawke and twisting vocal treatments by Daniel Lopatin. Nine portraits of women on the EP artwork reflect the feminine oracle that Anohni evoked in her live concert tour.
