On Anohni's new album, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross—her first album with backing band the Johnsons in 13 years—the trailblazing balladeer slow dances between orchestral '60s soul, abrasive industrial, and intimate jazz. As usual, Anohni's vocals are pitch-perfect, evoking the rich textures of Nina Simone, Terry Callier, and Robert Wyatt. The album shines brightest during intimate jazz guitar-driven tracks like "Sliver Of Ice" and "It's My Fault," which allow her singular voice to take center stage (à la classic torch singers like Julie London or Dinah Shore). Don't miss the rare opportunity to hear Anohni's incredible voice live—she hasn't performed in Portland since 2008!
