Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique way of performing live solo. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit, experimental LP, Anika, which she recorded with Bristol band Beak>, a wholly unplanned affair, which began her on-going investigation into the music, film, poetry and arts scenes.

Anika has worked across the arts with the likes of punk legends Gudrun Gut and Beate Bartel (Malaria!, Liaisons Dangereuses), Tricky (Massive Attack), Jim Jarmusch, Soundwalk Collective, Shackleton, Solistenensemble Kaleidoskop, Clark (Warp), PBDY (Brainfeeder), performance artist Melanie Jame Wolf, n.b.k gallery Berlin, poet Ricardo Domeneck, computer programmer Raoul Sanders/A.I, fashion house Jil Sander and light artist Philipp Geist.

2025 sees the release of her third album, Abyss, a record that captures raw energy with minimal overdubs, resulting in a visceral and urgent 10-track journey fueled by intense emotions. The album speaks to the turmoil of our times while offering an emotional outlet. As she Anika it, “This is a space for you.”

For fans of:

Beak>, Cate Le Bon, Molly Nilsson

Autumn Sweater's music is sometimes jangly, sometimes noisy, yet always melodic, and occasionally imperfect—in a good way. Though 90s indie rock remains a foundational influence, the band does not shy away from borrowing elements from other genres and eras. On their most recent, self-recorded release, Adult Life, they stay true to their DIY ethos, having recorded everything themselves in a forest cabin.
