‘Complicated’ marks our point of entry into ANLIL’s mysterious, sombre and intense aural universe. Hailing from Los Angeles via Canada and the Middle East, the talented producer and songwriter has managed to build a musical formula that’s uniquely hers. Oscillating between gloomy, hazy alt-pop and gritty alt-rock influences, ANLIL collects melancholic, introspective lyricism and gives it a cathartic allure and a high degree of hypnotising flair. ‘Complicated’ is the perfect evidence of that.
Drenched in modulating textures, reverb-soaked vocals and nocturne energy, the piece navigates the emotive unfolding of a toxic relationship taking place on a dancefloor, with a whirlwind of unhealthy thoughts and challenges strengthening the message. From a listener’s standpoint, the record represents a jump into the unknown, a destructive moment of inner truth that will likely resonate with a large audience out there.
‘Complicated’ is taken from ANLIL’s upcoming album ‘Celestial’, now being unveiled one track at a time.
