Product Description City Canyons Records is delighted to announce the addition of the superbly talented Anemo featuring Hazelle Woodhurst to it's roster. Hailing from Brighton in the UK, Anemo (which means 'changing forms') was formed in summer 2001 in Brighton, England. The Anemo core is the songwriting partnership of vocalist Hazelle (a former actress who appeared in such major movies as 'Shakespeare in Love' and 'Eyes Wide Shut') and keyboard player and producer Kingsley Sage (formerly of the UK band Jumbo and sometime producer for Icelandic indie-hipsters Bellatrix). This core is then supported by the remarkable Matt Palmer on guitar. Anemo has appeared at London's Hippodrome Theatre for the BBC, the 2003 MIDEM festival in Cannes, France, the 2004 SXSW music conference in Austin, Texas, and also played at the X04 festival at the Brighton Centre in April 2004 and the BBC summer stage at Whity City in June 2004. Anemo's edgy but melodic sound combines rock and pop forms conceived in the fertile minds of Sage/Woodhurst/Palmer punctuated with modern crunchy drum loops, all of it tied together with the spectacular voice of Hazelle. Review Hard driving electro-rock, ANEMO is a little bit rock, a little bit goth, but a whole lotta good. --Metal4Life, October 15, 2005Johnny 5” and “Fallout Renegade” are great examples of the band’s unique style: interesting keyboards, strong melodies, appealing voice. --John Kujawski, Playback:stl, October 2005 About the Artist ANEMO (which means “of the wind”) was formed in summer 2001 in Brighton, England.
