Her music grapples with issues ranging from critiques of power to intimacy and sexuality. Anomie often explores the emotional experiences of “beautiful alienation” created by modern consumer society, and the passive guilt of unsustainable lifestyles that are destructive to our natural environment and human well-being. She has also highlighted these issues in collaboration with artists across disciplines, or Culture Jammers such as The Yes Men. Anomie is openly queer and throughout her work she blurs typical representations of sexuality.
