Annika Henderson aka Anika has announced her forthcoming album Abyss, which is scheduled to land on April 4th via Sacred Bones. The LP is said to be a reflection of the musician’s perspective of the world today. Along with the news, Anika has also unveiled the lead-off single from the album entitled ‘Hearsay’.

‘Hearsay’ finds Anika tapping back into her post-punk bag with sinister bass lines being at the forefront. Whipping guitar riffs lash all over the track whilst Anika delivers her signature stern yet seducing vocal style. ‘Hearsay’ is the perfect way to get her core fans and possible new ones on board with the upcoming record.

Along with the track Anika has also shared an accompanying video which is directed by Laura Martinova. You can watch it below.

Regarding the visuals, Laura Martinova said:

“The ‘Hearsay’ music video is inspired by vampire aesthetics and seeks to connect with the grungy essence of Anika’s new album. We aimed to create a dark yet dynamic and surprising video. My collaboration with contemporary dancers and the use of raw camera movement transcends this imagery, while Zeynep Schilling’s creative direction elevates the video to another level—somewhere between evil and heaven. We worked with stylist Danny Muster and emerging designers to craft a timeless aesthetic.”
