The Anix

If you remember, I told you about the new, very good album by The Anix, "Sleepwalker", a couple of months ago.

Now the band is releasing a free song for their fans, the electro-acoustic version of "Burn", a cover of The Cure song originally featured on the soundtrack of "The Crow", one of the movies that inspired the sound of "Sleepwalker".

The "normal" version of this cover song appears on "Sleepwalker" and features the great futurepop norwegian band Apoptygma Berzerk.

THE ANIX new album out now mercoledì, 31 agosto 2011 01:18 by madseason
Californian electrorockers The Anix have released today their new studio album: it's called "Sleepwalker" and is a collection of songs created during a 3 year battle frontman Brandon Smith has had with insomnia, often written with no memory of doing so the next day.

The trio use to draw from the worlds in graphic novels and the music of NIN, The Cure and Muse, but with "Sleepwalker" the inspirations were a little different: "For this album we wanted to really explore our cinematic influences first, then pull from our musical influences. I wanted the record to sound like a soundtrack to movies like "The Crow" or "The Dark Knight." explains Brandon. "The bands we were listening to at the time that also helped influence us were Innerpartysystem, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Justice, 30 Seconds To Mars, Filter and The Faint."

The first single off the new album is called "Glass". Watch the video, directed by Chris Do, by clicking here.

"Sleepwalker" has been produced by Brandon Smith, Chris Lietz and Jurgen Engler and it's out now via Cleopatra Records.
