Before that, they released the 2012 live album Cut the World, which featured two previously unreleased songs: the title track and “Future Feminism.” Their last studio full-length was 2010’s Swanlights.
After going solo under her new name, ANOHNI released her 2016 debut album, Hopelessness, and an EP titled Paradise the following year. More recently, she shared the protest song “R.N.C. 2020,” covered Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive,” and teamed with Bryce Dessner and the Australian String Quartet for a new string arrangement of “Another World,” which she originally released with the Johnsons in 2008.
