Seattle-based neo-soul artist Anomie Belle has revealed a video for her latest single ‘Machine’ – watch below. The track is due for release on 14th November and is the latest to be taken from Anomie’s forthcoming album ‘The Crush’ following this month’s single ‘Inky Drips’.
‘The Crush’, which is released on 7th November, is the follow-up to Anomie Belles’ 2008 debut album ‘Sleeping Patterns’. She has previously toured and worked with the likes of Tricky, Little Dragon and Jon Auer of The Posies, who also features on ‘The Crush’.
Anomie Belle - real name Toby Campbell - began her musical career as a classical violinist before starting work on her own solo material. Speaking about her music, she said: “I grew up in your prototypical American suburb. The manicured lawns, strip mall parking lots, chain stores and massive expanses of cement and housing developments depressed me. I chose the moniker Anomie Belle to speak to the decadent alienation of the American dream. Growing up, music became my outlet. Bored by video games and dollhouses, I plunked away on my parent’s piano for hours at a time, teaching myself to play blues riffs and writing little pop songs.”
Mr Lif, who features on ‘Machine’, is a rapper from Boston, Massachusetts and is a member of hip-hop trio The Perceptionists. He is currently on tour with Thievery Corporation, with whom he recently collaborated on their album ‘Culture of Fear’. Mr Lif is well-known for his socially-conscious lyrics. Speaking about the recent ‘Occupy’ demonstrations around the globe, he said: “Without these types of movements, corporate greed will continue to run amok and destroy everything in its path unchecked. [My music] is made in the spirit of sparking and supporting these types of efforts. Musical ammo for the movement.”
