Blondshell Deluxe Edition is anchored by new tracks like the open-hearted grunge ballad “Street Rat” and a lilting, Bossa-Nova-esque reworking of “Tarmac” (dubbed “Tarmac 2”).

Icelandic pianist and one of the world’s leading classical music superstars, Víkingur Ólafsson, will make his first Australian appearance when he performs two concerts as part of the 2024 Adelaide Festival.

Like the rest of The King, every sound heard on “Animal” comes from two instruments: an acoustic guitar and Anjimile’s own voice. Throughout, Anjimile’s feelings of rage and frustration are tinged with sardonicism, and the song is accompanied by an equally potent video directed by Robby Operman.

The video was directed by Jason Lester (Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers), with concept and creative direction by Laufey’s identical twin Junia Lin. It is a mid-century fantasia, drawing inspiration from the minimalism, shapes, and colors of Piet Mondrian, Bauhaus architecture, modernist design and Golden Age Hollywood movie musicals.
