Anie- Lovekill EP review

Anie
Lovekill

I wish I could tell you more about Anie. Who or what is Anie, you ask? From the information given, Anie is the name of the group but is also the name of a person. Whatever the case may be, Anie has released an EP entitled Lovekill. As described on their Bandcamp page, each song on this EP “reflects the natural imbalance of a relationship.” With only four tracks to offer, Lovekill is an interesting EP.

            The title track opens up the EP, with the sounds of a female’s voice. Right from the start, you know this is something different. The title track has elements of indie rock but also elements of electronic pop. The male and female vocals harmonize in this catchy track. “Honey” is more of a conventional sounding pop song while it still maintains its indie rock sound. The male vocals suite the track just fine and give add more to the pop sound. The group slows things down on the dark acoustic sounds of “Only Ever This.” Compared to the first two tracks, this song is surprisingly dark. In fact, it’s wonderfully dark and melodic. The EP ends with the lyrically wonderful “Fear Losing,” which is another darker track with a glimmer of pop.


            Lovekill is a good EP from a strange but fascinating band. The band’s choice to stay anonymous just makes them even more intriguing. It’s definitely worth your time.
