Anomie is the solo moniker of Philadelphia, PA-based Rachel Browne, current Field Mouse vocalist/guitarist and forever alt-pop songstress. The four songs on Anomie’s self-titled EP, available February 10, 2015 (Father/Daughter Records) were written in California over the span of a week where Rachel escaped to think during a difficult time. What emerged was a time capsule for the experience — the music functioning as a therapeutic means to alleviate the heartache Rachel felt in the moment. An EP that bursts into sparkling life on the summery opening track ‘So Long’ then twists it’s way through the seasons to Winter over the remaining three tracks. Our original review stated this is easily accessible and fun and yeah, we’ll stick by that. Bonus points for Anomie being Rachel from the wonderful band Field Mouse.

released February 10, 2015

Guitars: Rachel Browne
Bass: Andrew Futral
Drums: Eric Slick

All songs written by Rachel Browne

great moody dream pop, you’ll be won over within seconds of the opening track. a great little gem of an ep! Favorite track: So Long.

Father/Daughter Records is already killing it this year. Earlier this week, Anomie. The name might sound unfamiliar, but it’s the solo moniker of Rachel Browne, who’s the vocalist and guitarist of dreamy pop band Field Mouse. Anomie shows Rachel going in a new direction, and it’s one that I already can’t get enough of.

“So Long” is the first of four tracks on Anomie’s EP, and it rips and roars like nothing Rachel’s done before. There’s a visible urgency to the song, like Rachel has something she needed to get off her chest RIGHT NOW. The following track follows suit until Rachel slows it down for the latter half of the album, exploring the range of emotions and feelings that come from heartache. The album officially comes out on February 10th

Field Mouse singer/guitarist Rachel Brown is prepped to release a solo EP under the moniker Anomie via our favourite record company at Father/Daughter Records.

This first single “So Long” is a good old alt-rock jam that sounds like it could be visiting us from the year 1996. You remember, back when snarling, feedback soaked alt-rock was ubiquitous and we were better for it? Anyways, I don’t know about you, but it’s sounding so perfect right now .

I know we’re less than ten days into 2015, but I can safely say that Father/Daughter Records is already killing it this year. Earlier this week, a new song from newcomers Diet Cig that I haven’t been able to stop listening to since I first heard it. And now today, we can introduce another stellar EP that is coming out on the label next month by Anomie. The name might sound unfamiliar, but it’s the solo moniker of Rachel Browne, who’s the vocalist and guitarist of dream pop band Field Mouse. Anomie shows Rachel going in a new direction, and it’s one that I already can’t get enough of.

“So Long” is the first of four tracks on Anomie’s upcoming EP, and it rips and roars like nothing Rachel’s done before. There’s a visible urgency to the song, like Rachel has something she needed to get off her chest,  The following track follows suit until Rachel slows it down for the latter half of the album, exploring the range of emotions and feelings that come from heartache. The album officially comes out on February 10th but you can listen to “So Long” .
Rachel Browne on Anomie:
“I wrote a bunch of songs while hiding out last year between moving out of my home in New York and into a totally new life in Philadelphia. I wanted them to reflect the exact moments that I wrote them in, and not look too far ahead. I’d finished writing for my band Field Mouse’s album and had these other ideas that I needed to get out. Anomie was a name I had used since high school to file writing and art I’d been working on, and it seemed fitting to continue on with that in this project.”
