Anomie
 Belle’s 
music 
reflects 
remnants 
of 
every 
place
 she 
has 
lived, 
and 
the 
many 
lives 
that 
have
 crossed
 her 
path, 
with 
periods
 of 
time
 in 
New 
York 
City, 
Madrid,
Glasgow, 
Portland, 
Amsterdam, 
Buenos
 Aires, 
Seattle 
and 
London
 coloring
 the
 lens 
of 
her 
creative
 works.

Despite
 liberal 
parents 
and 
an
 enthusiastic 
childhood,
 the 
alienating 
crush 
of 
suburban 
conformity— from
 the 
ubiquitous
 name‐brand 
label
 jeans
 and
 sneaker s
to
strip
malls
 and 
concrete 
sidewalks— encouraged 
Anomie
 to 
seek
 out
 environments 
where 
her 
imagination 
and 
music 
would
 flourish.
 After
 years
 of 
repression 
for
the
 sake 
of
 fitting 
in 
with
 suburban
 norms,
 she
 chose 
the 
name 
“Anomie 
Belle”
 to
 represent
 herself
 as 
a
 conglomeration 
of 
“normlessness” 
and 
“beauty.”

A
 swirl 
of 
sexuality, 
spirituality, 
and 
a
critical 
opinion 
of 
consumer
 culture 
weave
 through
 the 
artivist’s
 work—if
 only 
because 
it’s
 the
 one
 place
s he
 feels 
completely
free 
to 
be 
herself.
 Openly 
identifying
 as
 queer
 and 
feminist,
 her 
music 
is 
a 
gentle
 slurry
 of 
genres
 known
 for 
their 
out spokenness 
and
 melodic
 brilliance:
 classical,
trip‐hop, 
electronica, 
jazz,
 and 
hip‐hop. 
“My 
value s
are
honesty,
 authenticity,
 vulnerability, 
and 
humility 
balanced 
with 
empowerment.
 I
 want 
to 
role
 model 
something
 to 
people
 through
 being 
who
 I 
am
 and 
putting 
the 
music 
I 
make
 out 
into 
the 
world.”

Layering 
her 
songwriting 
with 
cinematic 
programming, 
and 
painting 
it 
with
 organic
 instrumentation
 and
 electronic 
compliments, 
Anomie’s
 work
 is 
a 
spray
of 
soundscapes
 piqued
 with 
her 
vocals:
 heavy
 percussion, 
strings,
 and 
a
 smattering 
of 
synths.
 A
 fiercely 
independent 
and 
feminist 
voice,
 the
 singer’s
 belief
 in 
the
possibility 
of 
empowerment,
 the 
need 
for 
freedom
 from
 social 
labels, 
and 
the 
power
 that
 comes
 from 
questioning 
anything 
and
 everything
 shines 
through
 in 
every
poetic
 lyric
 of 
her 
musical
 catalog.

Over
 the 
years,
 she 
has 
toured
 with 
Little 
Dragon,
The
 Album
 Leaf, 
Tricky, 
Bajofondo, 
Sea
Wolf, 
and
 others, 
and 
collaborations
 have 
seen 
her 
work 
with 
Mr. 
Lif, 
Jon
Auer
 of 
The 
Posies, 
Ian 
Pickering
 of
 Sneaker 
Pimps,
 Trespassers 
William 
and
 Yppah.

“Anomie Belle has proven herself to be a legitimate quintuple threat as a masterful composer, producer, programmer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist. Her sultry, smoky vocals combine with her slithery, seductive programming for the perfect balance of sexiness and darkness. Having toured with the likes of electronica stalwarts Tricky and Little Dragon, Anomie Belle is poised to find herself among the most revered names of the genre” – URB Magazine

“She sings with such soul, it is difficult not to be captivated. Her voice is a perfect marriage of Beth Gibbons and Amy Winehouse. In fact, Belle nearly manages to convey the pain of emotional desolation on par with the aforementioned musicians. Along with the downtempo structure, her carefully restrained vibrato, and the dreamy backing ambiance, [Slither] is not one to be missed for those familiar with trip hop and minimalism.” – In Your Speakers

“[She’s] a rare breed of artist that cracks into my cynicism. As indie music becomes a fragmented jigsaw of hi-fi and lo-fi, remixes and mashups, she releases The Crush with a full spectrum of whimsical electronic effects, strings, and grainy allegorical vocals. Far from recycled pop hooks, her music is ominous and theatrical, composed layer by layer, somewhat like Zola Jesus.” – Indie Shuffle

“She makes dark social issues eerily lovely.” – KEXP

“There it is straight away that sexy, fragile voice that we love about Anomie Belle taking over […] just another perfect example as to why this artist deservers a place in the music scene. We are simply amazed and captivated by this woman.” – Entertainment Focus

“She combines electronic and experimental elements with sensual beats, lush strings and layered vocals, dropping the listener into the melancholy heart of her beautiful symphonies. Anomie Belle will dissolve you.” – Performer Magazine
