ANOHNI and the Johnsons have shared “Why Am I Alive Now?,” the latest single from their forthcoming album My Back Was a Bridge for You to Cross, which is out July 7 on Secretly Canadian/Rough Trade. The accompanying video, directed by Euphoria’s Hunter Schafer, is the actress’s second-ever directorial endeavor. In the visual, she creates a portrait of women seeking refuge in each other in the middle of a large complex overlooking the ocean.
Schafer comments, “I started listening to ANOHNI in high school, so it’s a huge honor to help her build a visual world for ‘WAIAN’... I wanted to focus on the idea of finding sisterhood in a world that does nothing to help—I hope the direction, choreography, and tone conveys a small piece of that journey.”
