Hear a new song from ANOHNI, “Sliver of Ice”
Last month, ANOHNI announced the details of new album My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, which is out July 7 via Secretly Canadian. Today she’s released another new song, “Sliver of Ice,” which was inspired by Lou Reed, and which you can hear below via its ANOHNI-directed video.
“A friend of mine expressed to me in the final months of his life that the simplest sensations had begun to feel almost rapturous; a carer had placed a shard of ice on his tongue one day and it was such a sweet and unbelievable feeling that it caused him to weep with gratitude. He was a hardcore kind of guy and these moments were transforming the way he was seeing things,” ANOHNI said in a statement. “I wrote ‘Sliver of Ice,’ remembering those words of his.”
ANOHNI’s last album was 2016’s HOPELESSNESS.
