We are excited at DeClunk HQ to be telling the news that ANYX has her debut album out 28th 0f August. This is the second single release, it’s called ‘Window In Your Eyes’. If you haven’t heard the distinctive voice of ANYX it’s time to get into it. Love it!
The track sees the delicate tension that underpins the album at its most taut, building gradually through an arrangement of sparse percussion and melodic arpeggios, played on guitar in the first iteration, then on harp. Fluid and expansive, with an insistent sense of forward motion, “Window In Your Eyes” reveals a different side of ANYX’s songwriting — one shaped as much by texture, movement and resonance as by narrative. She comments: “This song is special to me because it’s the first time I’ve included a harp in my music. It brought a completely different energy for my voice to react to. The song really became a dialogue — almost a duet — between harp and voice.”
The accompanying video, directed by Kurt Heuvens, constructs a musical landscape that moves between body, resonance and transformation. “For me, the kite in this video is a visual translation of the harp within the song — something fluid, restless and fast-moving, almost in constant motion, acting as a counterpart to the darker register of my voice” ANYX explains. “A mercurial and strange companion, orbiting alone in this world we built for ourselves. Mirroring my own emotional states: Sometimes I’m strong, muscular and confident, moving through life with my wings spread wide, but then again I’m fragile, thin-skinned, glued to the ground.
“I wanted the video to capture those shifting emotional states — the physical closeness of my performance set against the vast horizon of the Wadden Sea, overlooked by this strange ghostly figure drifting through the wind.”
