Anais Darkness At Play Limited Vinyl LP

Overview:

anaïs – one of the UK’s most enigmatic and beautiful new voices - has released a magical 13-track project titled ‘Darkness At Play’. It has been produced by the legendary Om’Mas Keith (Frank Ocean, Erykah Badu, Jay-Z) and long-time collaborator Aston Rudi. anaïs arrived in late 2017 with her critically-lauded debut EP ‘Before Zero’. Featuring breakthrough track ‘nina’, the EP was a fiercely intelligent introduction that explored her fascinating life so far (for those unaware, she was born in Toulouse, France but of Senegalese origin, grew up in Ireland and Oakland California before graduating from NYU). A great 2018 included a stunning collaboration with friend Olly Alexander on No Control, her own sold out headline show, festival performances at Great Escape and All Points East, a jam packed room at Pitchfork in Paris plus supporting Nakhane and Samm Henshaw . ‘Darkness At Play’ isn’t a record that shies away from the ugly truth. Within its enthralling 11 tracks and 2 interludes, anaïs tackles various overwhelming themes including capitalism and greed, struggle and disempowerment.
