ANJIMILE

Raised in Dallas, Texas, by parents originally from Malawi and now transplanted to North Carolina, Anjimile knows that study and appreciation are as important as practice when it comes to music. When composing, Anjimile draws on everything he’s learned, from the African pop beloved by his parents, to the youth choir he attended, to the influences of ’80s music and even his contemporaries and fellow 4AD labelmate, Big Thief. Lyrically, he explores the human condition in depth; from his own perspective, Giver Taker tackles the conflict between his faith and his life as a trans person, as well as the hope of overcoming addiction. His EP, Reunion, featured orchestral reimaginings of some of Giver Taker’s tracks by composer Daniel Hart (Polyphonic Spree, St. Vincent), as well as vocals by Jay Som, Sasami and Lomelda. More recently, he also released his cover of Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s Ever New, which accompanied the B-side of a Bartees Strange-led cover of TV On the Radio, as well as the new single Stranger, his first on 4AD.

Élevé à Dallas, au Texas, de parents originaires du Malawi et maintenant transplanté en Caroline du Nord, Anjimile sait que l’étude et l’appréciation sont aussi importantes que la pratique lorsqu’il s’agit de musique. Pour composer, Anjimile s’inspire de tout ce qu’il a appris, de la pop africaine adorée par ses parents à la chorale de jeunes qu’il a fréquentée, en passant par les influences de la musique des années 80 et même de ses contemporains et camarades du label 4AD, Big Thief. Sur le plan lyrique, il explore en profondeur la condition humaine ; de son propre point de vue, Giver Taker aborde le conflit entre sa foi et sa vie en tant que personne trans, ainsi que l’espoir de vaincre la dépendance. Son EP, Reunion, comprenait des réimaginations orchestrales de certains morceaux de Giver Taker par le compositeur Daniel Hart (Polyphonic Spree, St. Vincent), ainsi que des voix de Jay Som, Sasami et Lomelda. Plus récemment, il a également sorti sa reprise de Ever New de Beverly Glenn-Copeland, qui accompagnait la face B d’une reprise de TV On the Radio dirigée par Bartees Strange, ainsi que le nouveau single Stranger, son premier sur 4AD.
