This will be special. Two generational voices come together as Anohni takes on Reed’s classic catalogue and transgressive lyrics in her own inimitable style. ANOHNI’s relationship with Lou Reed stretches back over two decades. In 2003, she was a supporting vocalist on the Animal Serenade tour and performed on a number of tracks on Reed’s Edgar Allan Poe inspired album The Raven. In 2006/2007 she sang backing vocals for Reed’s first full performance of Berlin in New York and Sydney. In addition, Reed contributed vocals and guitar to ‘Fistful of Love’ from I Am a Bird Now. Across her 30-year career ANOHNI has forged a singular path through popular music, mirroring Reed’s beguiling musical journey in so many ways.
