Anthem is the electronic project from the northern producer, experienced drummer and songwriter Anthony Walters. Surrounded by a plethora of musical genres from a young age, Walters has always dreamed of sharing his own weird and wonderful sounds with the world. And now, finally, the time has come to set them free. 

Citing influences from the likes of Björk, FKA twigs, Gary Numan, Ólafur Arnalds and Thom Yorke, Anthem's music is littered with textured soundscapes and glitchy electronics. Perfecting his own experimental trajectory, his intricate self-productions combine free melodies and lo-fi intimacies to create sleek sonic masterpieces.

Pairing up with vocalist Alex Wood on his debut release, Anthem has finally ignited the spark he has always had inside of him. This is the start of a new beginning. Wicked Game is out now. ~ Paige Sims
