SUMMARY:Anika
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Anika\, the project of Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson\, in The Green Room. \nTICKETS: $15 in advance | $20 day of show \nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnika — the project of Berlin-based musician Annika Henderson\, who is also a founding member of Exploded View — announces Change\, her first new album in over a decade. Her video for “Change” was directed by Sven Gutjahr\, who also directed the video for her recent single\, “Finger Pies.” The follow-up to cult favorite Anika (2010)\, Change is beautifully fraught. The intimacy of its creation and a palpable sense of global anxiety are seemingly baked into the album’s DNA. 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 Hi Scores-era Boards of Canada\, playing them against Anika’s remarkable voice — Nico-esque\, beautifully plaintive\, and — in regard to the record’s subject matter — totally resolute. \nHaving worked collaboratively in the past with the likes of BEAK> and Exploded View\, Change was ultimately the product of necessity. After recording the initial ideas by herself at Berlin’s Klangbild Studios\, Anika was joined by Exploded View’s Martin Thulin\, who co-produced the album and played some live drums and bass. “This album had been planned for a little while\, and the circumstances of its inception were quite different to what had been expected\,” says Anika. “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?” \nRecorded at a time when literally everyone in the world was being forced to take stock\, rethink\, and reimagine their own place in the cosmos of things\, Anika provides the wisened perspective of an outsider. It’s a perspective that is not lost on the British ex- pat and former political journalist\, and despite the subject matter and the circumstances around its creation\, Change itself is ultimately a treatise on optimism. The title track presents the album’s message writ large: “I think we can change. We all have things to learn\, about ourselves and about each other.” To end the record on such a sanguine note might be one of Change’s most revolutionary gestures. \n“There’s a lot of stuff I want to change\,” says Anika. “Some things I sat down and decided last year\, I had to change about myself and my life. Sometimes it feels helpless\, because the things we want to change are so huge and out of our control. Starting with yourself is always a good place. I think we can change.”

SUMMARY:Circuit des Yeux with Optic Sink
DESCRIPTION:Crosstown Arts presents Circuit des Yeux with Optic Sink in The Green Room. \nTICKETS: $20 advance | $25 at the door\nDoors at 7 pm | Show at 7:30 pm \nPurchase Tickets Here \n“-io is brilliantly extravagant” \n – NPR\, 50 Best Albums of 2021 \n“Fohr explores every nuance in her voice\, soaring and diving to unplumbed depths” \n– The Washington Post \n“A stirring reflection on grief\, oblivion and acceptance\, the album sounds like a fearless free fall into the void.” \n– New York Times \nCircuit des Yeux’s 2021 album -io was ranked on NPR’s 50 Best Albums of 2021\, Pitchfork’s 100 Best Songs of 2021\, and The Wire’s Top 50 Releases of 2021\, among other best of 2021 year-end lists.  \nHaley Fohr is a vocalist\, composer and singer-songwriter based in Chicago\, Illinois. Her musical endeavors focus around our human condition\, and her 10-year career as Circuit des Yeux has grown into one of America’s most successful efforts to connect the personal to the universal. \nShe is most distinctly identified by her 4-octave voice and unique style of 12-string guitar. Her mysterious “Jackie Lynn” project landed her on the cover of Wire Magazine in August of 2016. Her recent works include an Original Soundtrack for Charles Bryant’s silent film Salomé (1923)\, commissioned by Opera North\, and a critically acclaimed 2017 album Reaching For Indigo\, released on Drag City Records. \nCircuit des Yeux’s first studio album since 2017\, -io\, is her first for Matador Records. The sky over -io is Florida’s strange\, radiant orange. It’s a built environment\, unnatural\, made from concrete and glass\, with skyscrapers that stretch to the vanishing point as you gaze up at them. \nIt’s crumbling and suffocating\, a city perpetually on the brink of collapse\, where tension never topples over into catharsis\, where the heat never breaks. \nInside this world and its closed loop of time\, Fohr found herself able to begin moving again. “I was haunted by memories in the pandemic\,” she says. “As someone with PTSD\, memories are all twisted up inside of me in a way that doesn’t help my higher self. Making this album was once again an exercise of trying to relieve myself of some of that darkness in a way that music has always done for me.” \n
