My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross | ANOHNI and the Johnsons

Description

Cover Notes: ‘My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross’, ANOHNI’s sixth studio album, expresses a world view by shape-shifting through a broad range of subject matter. Through a personal lens, ANOHNI addresses loss of loved ones, inequality, alienation, acceptance, cruelty, ecocide, devastation wrought by abrahamic theologies, future feminism, and the possibility that we might yet transform our ways of thinking, our spiritual ideas, our societal structures, and our relationships with the rest of nature. On her first full album since 2016’s HOPELESSNESS, she explains the creative process was painstaking, yet also inspired, joyful, and intimate, a renewal and a renaming of her response to the world as she sees it. ‘Some of these songs respond to global and environmental concerns first voiced in popular music over 50 years ago.’
