There are many angles one could approach ‘War is so Primitive’ from; ultimately the most relevant is the lyrical one, a deep dive into the complexity of human nature and the ever-lasting issue of wars as a means of conflict resolution. Has humanity not entered its enlightened era yet? Speaking to each other and finding common ground are all factors that would greatly help in resolving many struggles around the globe. Well, Anjalts tries to find the missing piece, with a record that’s dark yet hopeful, eclectic yet straight to the point.
Sonically, the track finds its identity in gritty, deep and evocative electro-pop, delivered with fierceness and charismatic icyness. Long textures, punchy drums: the perfect environment for Anjalts’ mysterious and spikey vocals, wrapped in reverbs and delays.
Gearing up for an upcoming album, ‘Buency’, the American talent celebrates her wise and modern artistry with a keen eye to the cold reality of our world. Art is meant to change the world, and Anjalts knows it well. As she explains: “a profound reflection on the futility of war as a solution for everything”.
