Tranquility (Full Length)

AUREJA | 2021 years retrospectivo

When asked to describe the circumstances that influenced her beautifully fraught new work, Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson—better known simply as Anika—quickly articulates a set of feelings and unpredictable circumstances that are familiar to anyone who tried to make art—or simply tried to live through—the recent global pandemic. “It’s a moment caught in time,” she says of Change, her much-anticipated new record. Given that it has been 11 years since the release of her last solo album, 2010 cult-favorite Anika, the artist suddenly found herself with a lot to say. “This album had been planned for a little while and the circumstances of its inception were quite different to what had been expected. This colored the album quite significantly. The lyrics were all written there on the spot. It’s a vomit of emotions, anxieties, empowerment, and of thoughts like—How can this go on? How can we go on?”

Having worked collaboratively in the past with the likes of BEAK> and Mexico City’s Exploded View, Change was ultimately the product of necessity. “After recording the initial ideas alone at Klangbild studios in Berlin, a few months later and by some stroke of luck, Mr. Martin Thulin of Exploded View, managed to make his way over from Mexico, to co-produce the album with me and play some live drums and bass,” recalls Anika. “Between Reality Baitz and Impression Recordings in Berlin, we managed to get the album together.

The intimacy of its creation and a palpable sense of global anxiety are seemingly baked into the DNA of Change. Spread across nine tracks, the central feeling of the record is one of heightened frustration buoyed by guarded optimism. The songs offer skittering, austere electronic backdrops reminiscent of classic Broadcast records or High Scores-era Boards of Canada, playing them against Anika’s remarkable voice—Nico-esque, beautifully plaintive, and—in regards to the record’s subject matter—totally resolute. Incantatory tracks like “Naysayer” and “Never Coming Back” are both, as Anika explains them, both a call to arms and a warning. “Never Coming Back” was written after reading Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring,” she explains. “I was living in the old East countryside outside of Berlin, where there seemed to be no shortage of birds. Apparently their numbers have dropped significantly, but it is one of these changes that we never really stop and notice. We take things for granted, until it’s too late. With all this other noise going on, care for the environment has quickly been moved to the back-burner. So long as we get what we want NOW and on demand, who cares about whether we are taking care of the future?”

If I Cared

Did You Feel Me Slip Away?

Created by the Mexican duo BadWolf & Sergio Ruiz, “Hipnótico” is an obscure and slow theme focused mainly on bringing seamlessly together Techno and Dark Disco elements. According to the lads themselves, the track was made on a grey and cloudy day, which may have helped it comes out with gloomy nuances and hypnotic atmospheres. Filled with lyrics inspired by human choices how the past always impacts the future and how that leads us to make decisions based on all the things we live every day, “Hipnótico” is a perfect tune to be used in that part of a DJ set in which you intend to keep the crowd hooked to the kind of trip only electronic music can provide.

In their first work together, BadWolf & Sergio Ruiz demonstrate a promising affinity, exploring their multiple influences and applying refined producing techniques in order to create something that brings exactly what we expect from the new generation of artists: freshness and innovation. The bouncing bassline, the ethereal pads and the aforementioned lyrics are the strongest elements of this piquant track.

With this EP, NUFF MUSIC reaches its fourth release. Everything they have published so far has grabbed our attention, and we are very glad for premiering something from this vital Mexican label on our platform.
