ANIKA RIGHTS

With her her highly-anticipated new album Change on the horizon, Berlin-based artist Anika has shared another brooding taste of things to come. Following the unusually-titled 'Finger Pies' and her mesmerising title track 'Change', 'Rights' is a propulsive intersection of haunting post-punk and electronic krautrock. Conveying an important message, Anika explains 'Rights' is about “turning the tables, giving power to those who normally feel disempowered. This song is about unification not division. This song is about female (/queer/non-binary/marginalised communities) empowerment - the joining of forces, not pitted against each other. This song is about wanting to escape reality but then we can never truly escape it, it will always be there to collect its dues. We can only ever achieve temporary escape. The better option is to bring whatever we want into reality.Change will arrive on the 23rd of July via Sacred Bones/Invada Records. -Holly Mullineaux
