Anomie Permanent Revelation

Anomie Permanent Revelation

Standing steadfast in a music scene dominated by testosterone and male bravado, Anomie (aka Sofie Loizou) has been vehemently setting herself apart from the pack since 2010, and is now on the cusp of dropping her debut LP, Permanent Revelation, due out August 4th. With an impressive and versatile pedigree as a classically trained musician, composer, producer and media artist, Anomie elegantly weaves together intricate and nuanced electronics with visionary dancefloor sensibilities, all culminating in the stratospheric sound experience that is her debut album.

Anomie's made a business of making an impression, wiling the ears of the likes of The Gaslamp Killer, Flying Lotus, Teebs, Jeremiah Jae and Theo Parrish. Her EPs Millions and Forward <<>> Backward made the world sit up and take notice, and her immaculate live manner has already earned her key slots at leading electronic international festivals including Croatia's infamous Outlook Festival, Barcelona's Sonar Festival and Low End Theory in Los Angeles, plus premier slots at some of Australia's biggest festivals, including Stereosonic, St Jerome's Laneway, Sub Sonic and Peats Ridge.

Permanent Revelation is a journey of political and spiritual awakening told through sound, a reflection of the unity of struggle worldwide, from the Arab Spring to the Occupy movement. Taking its cue from time away in Europe during a time of global political unrest, the album opens with a strike of revolution, melding into the optimistic spirit of the resistance of protest music. Fusing together a spectrum of influences from jazz, hip hop and reggae through to the dissenting, driving rhythms of techno and bass, the thread of the album stays true to the spirit of rebellion that the unique Anomie sound is infamous for. Versatile synths wax and wane around catch cries from the picket line (including samples of protest chants from the children of Syria in First World Problems and live recordings of UFO sightings in How to Speak to the Light), underscored by defiant rhythm and dancefloor soul.

Permanent Revelation features contributions from the likes of Canadian beatboxer/MC Shamik on the defiant Rise Up, and the sassy Billie Rose Prichard's lyrical talents on Knife's Edge, beefing up what is already a scintillatingly diverse and unquestionable selection of reasons why Anomie will be a name on all electronic tastemakers lips this coming year.
