PREMIERE: Listen to the debut EP from ANAMAI, solo project of HSY's Anna Mayberry If you know Anna Mayberry only as a member of Toronto sludge-punks HSY, you’re in for a surprise with the debut release by her new solo project, ANAMAI. We have the premiere of the self-titled EP streaming above via Buzz Records, and it’s a gorgeous mix of glittery synths, old folk melodies and gauzy shoegaze textures… pretty much the polar opposite of HSY’s claustrophobic noise-rock.
