0Anjunabeats Production Duo anamē Single “Someone We Used To Love”
Scandinavian production duo anamē join forces with Lydmor on ‘Someone We Used To Love’, the second single from their upcoming debut album on Anjunabeats.
Marcus Schössow and Thomas Sagstad have been planning, plotting, and dreaming anamē for two decades. First coming together at a house party in Helsingborg, Sweden, Marcus, and Thomas bonded over a love of artists (Sasha or early Tiesto), labels (Strictly Rhythm, Defected), ethics (“We both wanted to work hard for our dreams”) and ideas.
‘Someone We Used To Love’ sees anamē collaborate with Danish singer-songwriter Lydmor. A celebrated artist, Lydmor dropped her critically acclaimed album ‘CAPACITY’ in 2021, and won a ROBERT (Danish Grammy) for best song with her work on the film score for Venus Effekten in 2022. The esteemed musician has played on the stages of Roskilde Festival, Tinderbox, Northside Festival, and Indie Music Week in New York and beyond.
Previously released as part of her album ‘CAPACITY’, Schössow first heard ‘Someone We Used To Love’ after his cousin sent him a Facebook video of Lydmor singing the original song.
“There was something so special about it,” Marcus says of the vocal and feel of the track.“The way she sings it, it’s like you’re in the story and we can feel her pain. It’s one of those records that we’ve had on the hard drive for almost two years, and we keep coming back to it and saying: that is a good one.”
“And it has a little bit of a controversial bite to it,” continues Sagstad. “It’s very edgy, rough around the edges. We just knew we had to do more with her. She’s just one of those forces of nature that we knew worked with our sound.”
anamē got their new album campaign off to a blistering start last month with the release of ‘Anywhere (Road Trippin’)’, recently added to Sirius XM BPM. Over the coming weeks and months, the band will be pulling back the curtain on how an album comes together, through their social media channels and on their ‘It’s a Beautiful World’ podcast series.
anamē’ & Lydmor ‘Someone We Used To Love’ is out now on Anjunabeats. The duo joins Above & Beyond at their Group Therapy Weekender festivities at The Gorge on July 21-23, and feature at all three Anjunabeats Outdoors shows in New York City, Denver, and Montréal this August.
