Anika
Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique way of performing live solo. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit, experimental LP, Anika (Stones Throw /Invada), which she recorded with Bristol band Beak>, a wholly unplanned affair, which began her on-going investigation into the music, film, poetry and arts scenes. One of her most known songs remains “I Go To Sleep”, a cover of The Kinks’ 1965 classic. The debut was followed by “Change” in 2021, an album full of heightened frustration buoyed by guarded optimism spread across nine tracks.
