Anarchytecture
Anarchytecture is the sixth studio album by English band Skunk Anansie, released on 15 January 2016. Tom Dalgety produced it, and it came out through earMUSIC and Carosello Records.
It sits in the band's second chapter, following Wonderlustre in 2010 and Black Traffic in 2012, the records that followed their return after the 1990s run of Paranoid & Sunburnt, Stoosh and Post Orgasmic Chill. Anarchytecture is the one to reach for if you want to hear where the group stood in the middle of that later period, with a rock and pop rock sound and a fresh hand behind the desk. A further album, The Painful Truth, followed in 2025.
