Scritti Politti
Anomie & Bonhomie (2021 Reissue)
Rough Trade
11 years after the release of previous album Provision, Scritti Politti erupted back into life with 1999’s Anomie & Bonhomie.
Recalibrated, re-evaluated, re-imagined and, eventually, rewarded. Anomie & Bonhomie is the heady results of this artistic rebirth. Illuminated by the band’s stylish pure pop spotlight, collaborations with Mos Def, Lee Majors and Wendy Melvoin give the record a neon-lit, nocturnal shimmer. Hip hop flourishes sit side-by-side with heart-hitting balladry, as truly touching melodies match moments of uncompromising musical grit with their emotional impact. Originally released in 1999 & only on CD, never released as an LP. Includes sleeve notes written by Green Gartside & David Gamson
