ANOHNI and the Johnsons have released a new song, ‘Sliver of Ice’, alongside an accompanying video. It’s taken from their forthcoming LP My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, which was announced last month with the single ‘It Must Change’. Check it out below.
“A friend of mine expressed to me in the final months of his life that the simplest sensations had begun to feel almost rapturous; a carer had placed a shard of ice on his tongue one day and it was such a sweet and unbelievable feeling that it caused him to weep with gratitude,” ANOHNI commented in a statement. “He was a hardcore kind of guy and these moments were transforming the way he was seeing things. I wrote ‘Sliver of Ice,’ remembering those words of his.”
My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross comes out July 7 on Secretly Canadian/Rough Trade.
