About artist


Anomie Belle
Anomie Belle is an American musician and activist. Originally a classical violinist and songwriter from Portland, Anomie Belle began performing and recording her own music as a child. She has since worked as a musician and producer in Madrid, Glasgow, Amsterdam, New York, Buenos Aires, and London before moving to Seattle in 2006 to focus exclusively on Anomie Belle. Anomie Belle is also active as a film composer.
Anomie Belle is noted for her provocative vocals and lyrics set to complex, often down-tempo, beats and layers of herself on strings, electric guitars, and synths. Haunting melodies and experimental soundscapes transport listeners through the crowded nature of their modern minds and urban spaces. Her material also grapples with issues ranging from suburban alienation, consumerism, human spirituality and sexuality. Anomie Belle is also known for her contempt for consumerism and her involvement in the Culture Jamming, Artivism and Anti-consumerism social movements. Her works commonly critique greed, oppression, mass media, corporate power, inequality, and alienation. Anomie Belle is also openly queer.
Anomie Belle self-released her debut album Sleeping Patterns in November 2008. Sleeping Patterns received widespread press news and radio coverage. In support of her debut release, Anomie Belle embarked on a West Coast tour with Little Dragon and Manuok in 2008. Sleeping Patterns garnered further commercial success after the song How Can I Be Sure appeared in the Xbox 360 game Alan Wake, as well as episodes of United States of Tara and Jersey Shore .
