Every Friday, we’re here to remind you of the Boston artists we love and think you oughta know.

Even the most cursory skim through Anjimile’s body of work would, no doubt, pull a listener in closer. You might, for example, find yourself not quite able to pin their sound down to a singular genre. You might even feel startled by how the production between tracks can flit from lush to spare and back, seemingly without warning. But the reason why Anjimile’s work proves so captivating is precisely because it evades this sort of easy categorization: the 25-year-old Northeastern student’s discography is tender, honest, and perhaps above all, an unfailingly surprising and evocative listen. Some songs exude the lo-fi charm of GarageBand demos made in bed at the end of a long day; others, shrouded in fingerpicked guitar and hushed vocal layers, recall Carrie and Lowell era Sufjan Stevens; still others manage to give off pop and R&B vibes. Yet all are threaded together by Anjimile’s frank and delicate writing, which grapples with themes of identity, imperfect relationships, and— to put it in their words— “[their] own intense behavioral fuckery.” Anjimile has become a beloved part of Boston’s DIY scene for the past several years, over the course of which they’ve crafted a vibrant and sonically diverse catalog that’s definitely worth your time to check out.

Anjimile’s most recent work, Maker Mixtape, was released late January of this year. Listen to Maker Mixtape on Bandcamp here, and catch Anjimile on tour soon (dates and locations TBA).
