Homo Anxietatem is a stroke of brilliance not for how many different landscapes Shamir wanders across, but for how generous and relentless in the pursuit of transformation they become as the album unfolds.
Shamir concocts a conscious movement against upheaval and anxiety on Homo Anxietatem
Wide-ranging yet cohesive, crafted yet genuine, Homo Anxietatem is an expansive, satisfying standout within his body of work.
The singer-songwriter’s first album on the riot grrrl label is great when it throws the genre doors wide, but too often reverts to common-or-garden rock
Sometimes, I worry that the world is taking Shamir Bailey for granted. Shamir has been living in Philadelphia and making DIY indie-pop bangers for so long that their electro-pop past now feels like a distant memory. Shamir also makes a lot of music; their new album Homo Anxietatem is their ninth. But those albums are mostly really, really good, and Homo Anxietatem is no exception.
