Anohni - Hopelessness

Hasn't much grabbed me; somehow the beats and electronic elements don't sit well with Anohni's always remarkable voice (they can be a bit abrasive, and the contrast doesn't work), and aren't that interesting in their own right, although the way that some of the individual songs come together is, especially in the more tender back third of the album.

(previously: I Am A Bird Now, and many other appearances on compilations and what have you, recording under her former name)
