40. ANOHNI - HOPELESSNESS (2012)
Still up in here clearing the backlog - but Anohni - formerly of Antony and the Johnsons - made the most direct protest album of modern times, dealing with surveillance, drone warfare and climate change to name but three issues it tackles.
The stellar voice was still there - albeit over more of an electronic backdrop than that of the chamber-pop of yesteryear, but alas, the job was a good'un. It was aural nourishment to have one of the most unorthodox heavyweights land an album of such magnitude, especially with Oneohtrix Point Never and Hudson Mohawke at the production desk.
Anohni, sweet Anohni, where shallst they goeth next?
