What do I got to do to get through? Oh, it’s killing me Oh, anonymity Oh, anonymity I don’t know how to keep me inside your head What do I got to do to get through? I don’t know how to keep me inside your head What do I got to do to get through? What do I got to do to get through? Speak my name but not in vain To keep me feeling relevant Refer to me with words of praise of eloquence and elegance Share my page because at this stage we round up all the likes we get Cause in this age were in a cage it’s all about the images Cause in this age were in a cage it’s all about the images Oh, it’s killing me Oh, anonymity Oh, anonymity What do I got to do to get through?

Planets 04:56
Name the planets and constellations From Andromeda to Vulpecula If we could ride on Branson’s ship I’d take you on a stellar trip, oh oh Oh, where do we go from here? 0h oh, where do we go now? I’m looking out my rocket window I’m passing by a nebula I am soaking up the radiation It’s changing my molecular Oh, where do we go from here? Oh oh, where do we go now? Oh, where do we go from here? Every planet is a destination From Jupiter to Mars I’ll take you on a grand vacation I can take you to the stars Oh, where do we go from here? Oh, where do we go from here? I’ll take you on a brand-new journey No need to pack your day bags Let’s get out of here Let’s get out of here Let’s get out of here Let’s get out of here

Breathing in and out as I’ve done before Walking back-and-forth on my creaky floor And I opened my door No use shutting down now There’s not much time left in me Unfortunately (hush, hush) I step outside and there’s silence all around me (hush, hush) The wind blows and Shatters all the peace. There’s broken bows that are scattered from the breeze (hush, hush) Scraping at my knees Can you heal me with a wash of rain? Can you blow away my self disdain? I am drowning here The elements were never in favor of me Unfortunately (hush, hush) I step outside and there’s silence all around me (hush, hush) The wind blows and shatters all the peace There’s broken boughs that are scattered from the breeze (hush, hush) Scraping at my Knees Oh (hush hush) Oh Walk with me silently Silently Can lift me like you lift the leaves? Can you carry me through the air with ease? I’m out of here No use turning back now It was never an option for me Unfortunately (hush, hush) I step outside and there’s silence all around me (hush, hush) The wind blows and shatters all the peace (hush, hush) There’s broken boughs that are scattered from the breeze (hush, hush) Scraping at my knees Oh (hush, hush) (hush, hush) Silently (hush, hush) Silently (hush, hush) Oh, hush, hush

about

"Combining Nooten‘s deeply romantic music sensibilities with Marselle’s poetry and heartfelt vocals, the result is a work that spans the elusive, razor-thin balance between the sad and beautiful, drawing the listener into a spellbinding world. The acclaimed vocalist for dream pop-noir band, The Blue Hour, Marselle Hodges’ ethereal vocals exhibit the breadth and nimbleness of her instrument, ranging from broken whisper to playful vocalizations to soaring, multilayered harmonies. Part lullaby, part guided meditation, Anonymity is a beautiful experiment and beautiful experience..." Post-punk.com

"Magical and integrated musical things shall fill your space. The sense of perfection and absolute balance everywhere within this work, ‘Anonymity’ LP is a landmark record of its kind..." White Light/White Heat

"Listening to this album, I can’t help but feel slightly disconnected from time. The drums and percussion delicately simmer just below the surface, which leaves ample room for the swirling instrumentation, and the ethereal vocals to set your brain adrift on a sea of sonic beauty. If you are a fan of ambient, 4AD-inspired dreampop, I can’t possibly recommend this album enough." –Dan Milligan, the Joy Thieves/the Burying Kind

"The magic of the stars could not have been more aligned in this collaboration blending classical music beautifully orchestrated with ethereal dreampop and passionate haunting vocals. Dark and melancholy... yet beautiful that sees the dawn of the new light. " DJ Nocturna, Queen of Wands on ModSnap Radio

“Pieter Nooten’s collaboration with singer Marselle Hodges mesh ambient sensibility with an ethereal, yet ever soulful voice that keeps its presence and focus centering the songs. The more ambient tracks reflect the early 4AD works, while the title track ‘Anonymity’ and ‘Planets’ bring in subtle pop elements and rhythms which provides diversity to the tracks, that differentiates it from Nooten’s more minimalist repertoire. Sometimes dreamy, layered and floating, other times intimate and close, Marselle’s vocal adds dimensionality that enhances the package and provides what may be a more accessible chapter in Pieter’s work.” –DJ Valor
