Anika (Sacred Bones, Invada, Stones Throw, Liquid Milk) Anika a.k.a Annika Henderson is a hybrid artist. The former journalist made a name for herself in the electronic music scene, with her experimental sound collages, confrontational texts and unique way of performing live solo. Her breakthrough came in 2010 with the release of the cult-hit Anika, recorded with Bristol band Beak. The debut was followed by "Change" in 2021. In 2023 she released her guitar, synth driven psychedelic experimental live album "Eat Liquid". 2025 sees the release of her third album "Abyss", a visceral and urgent 10-track journey fueled by intense emotions. She is founding member of Exploded View and has collaborated with a wide array of artists including Tricky, Jim Jarmusch, Gudrun Gut and Clark. Henderson operates as a writer, composer, musician, DJ, photographer, radio host and video-director. She interweaves dub, post-punk, and psychedelic, with shadows of dnb and a strong emphasis on the voice.
