ANOHNI And The Johnsons Share New Track, ‘Breathing’

The track was recorded during studio sessions for last year's 'My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross' LP

ANOHNI And The Johnsons have shared a new track, titled ‘Breaking’.

Centred around a stripped-back trio of guitar, clarinet and vocals, the song was written and recorded during the sessions for last year’s album, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross. You can listen to the track below.

The release of ‘Breaking’ follows the recent news that ANOHNI and band would head out on an extensive North American tour later this year. A full list of dates for that run of shows is available here, and tickets will go on general sale this Friday (June 14).

In a statement about the upcoming tour, ANOHNI said: “It is my first time touring since 2016, and first time with a band in 14 years. I feel like I want to sing for people, to affirm that these times are unprecedented, and to hold and express a sense of what’s really happening.”

‘Breaking’ is out now on Rough Trade.
