Losing Wild is the first single from Anya Anastasia's EP 'D I S S E N T E R' 

Losing Wild explores the idea that the loss of biodiversity diminishes human imagination. The song suggests that the extinction crisis not only poses heartbreaking and planet-threatening external risks, but also heralds the end of good poetry and diminishment of playful minds. We need to listen to our scientists, and to find solutions we also all need to engage our imaginations.

Losing Wild

Elegantly fusing heartfelt experimental folk flavours with powerful desert rock influences, Adelaide virtuoso Anya Anastasia has returned, sharing her compelling other-worldly soundscapes once again with the release of sophomore single ‘Spinning Heads’ (out March 4) ahead of her debut EP 'Dissenter' (Out April 1).

“This song is about the feeling of vertigo in a world that doesn't always make sense. Modern lives are filled with unsolicited distractions: neon signs and advertisements directing you away from the things that matter. When you're in a position to see past the swirling illusions, sometimes you feel right-way-up in an upside-down world, acutely aware that you're the outlier.” - Anya Anastasia

Spinning Heads

Smog & Mirrors is a jaded mockery of submitting to consumerism, predictive advertising, and pre-determinism. With overdriven electric guitar melodies, crystal vocals and frenzied instrumental layers, it was inspired by a dream about being trapped and resigning to a pre-determined fate.
