Quick! Pull up your space phone and check your internet calendar! What are you doing on July 7 and July 8? Are you going to be in London? Do you know that, when we make plans, God laughs and that your pretty space phone is going to get smashed by my booth if you’re not careful? What I’m trying to say is be careful and listen up: on July 7 and July 8, Anohni (a.k.a., the artist f.k.a. Antony of Antony and the Johnsons) will be joined with her recent collaborators Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke at the Barbican in London for a performance of music from her upcoming LP Hoplessness, which will be out in the spring of this year.
These dates, along with a performance on July 12 at the Flowers Festival in Turin, Italy, are some of the first announced in support of the upcoming album. According to the Barbican, these performances will feature “unusual staging,” “joyous dancing,” and even a “live avatar” of Anohni herself. That all sounds great to me.
Keep it tight, friends, and let’s pray that we all make it to July, phones un-smashed and lives collected enough to see the doleful glisten of that live avatar in the technical flesh.
Dates:
07.07.16 - London, United Kingdom - Barbican Centre
07.08.16 - London, United Kingdom - Barbican Centre
07.12.16 - Turin, Italy - Flowers Festival
