My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross

The new album by ANOHNI And The Johnsons (previously Antony And The Johnsons), "My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross", encompasses a captivating journey that traverses a wide spectrum of themes, offering a profound worldview. With a deeply personal perspective, ANOHNI delves into various topics including the pain of losing loved ones, societal inequalities, feelings of alienation, the importance of acceptance, acts of cruelty, the destructive consequences of Abrahamic theologies, the concept of Future Feminism, and the potential for transformative change in our modes of thinking, spirituality, societal structures, and relationships with the natural world.

This album marks ANOHNI's first complete release since the 2016 album "HOPELESSNESS." She describes the creative process as a meticulous endeavor, infused with inspiration, joy, and intimacy. It represents a rejuvenation and a redefinition of her response to the world as she perceives it. Some of the songs even echo concerns that were first voiced in popular music more than 50 years ago.

"My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross" seamlessly blends the personal and the inherently political, showcasing music's extraordinary ability to reconcile and harmonize seemingly contradictory elements.
