Electronic Renaissance-woman Anomie Belle is poised to release her fifth album, Machine, at a free event at The Tractor Tavern on Dec. 14. With a musical pedigree that includes both multi-instrumental proficiency and studio know-how, the diversely-talented artist has already prompted positive responses from critics across the country. Machine’s marriage of synthetic backdrops, organic flourishes and haunting vocals creates an aesthetic that is at once eerie, melodious and at times, a little disconcerting, but is invariably unique. In the album’s title track, featuring Boston-born hip hop artist Mr. Lif, the songstress dissects the dangers of ambition based on materiality and self-absorption, over deceptively smooth beats and tastefully applied instrumentation. Anomie Belle will take the stage on Wednesday with her string quartet, Cataldo, and Michel Navedo.
