On My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross, ANOHNI fashions a masterpiece about trans survival in the wake of ecocide, alienation, prejudice and violence.

In a couple days, ANOHNI is releasing a new album, My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross, her first in seven years and her first attributed to ANOHNI And The Johnsons in over a decade. We’ve heard two singles so far — “It Must Change” and “Sliver Of Ice” — and today we’re getting a third, “Why Am I Alive Now?,” which comes with a music video directed by Euphoria actress Hunter Schafer.

Hunter directed the video for contemplative indie-jazz fusion ”Why Am I Alive Now?,” the latest single off ANOHNI and the Johnsons’ new album ’My Back Was A Bridge For You To Cross.’
