This release from the artist formerly known as Antony (Hegarty) and the Johnsons, is a truly radical, passionate album that uses art to rise above politics and point to the mess of the world. Global warming, surveillance, state terrorism: these are the themes of Hopelessness. They are, jointly and separately, all so important that Anohni’s website offers the album’s lyrics in 16 languages.
