belle [bel] n a popular and charming woman; especially: a woman whose charm and beauty make her a favorite.
Anomie Belle is the project of composer, producer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, Toby Campbell. Originally a classical violinist and songwriter, she released multiple solo records under her own name before making her way into indie, experimental, trip-hop music. A Portland, Oregon native, Campbell has performed at top venues throughout the Pacific Northwest, and has worked as a musician and producer in Madrid, Glasgow, Amsterdam, New York, Buenos Aires, and London. In 2006 she moved to Seattle to focus exclusively on Anomie Belle.
Additional Anomie Belle band members include vocalist and classically trained pianist, Penelope Sheets, vocalist, Anna-Lynne Williams (Trespassers William, Lotte Kestner, Chemical Brothers), and saxophone player, Bryan Smith. Peter Lynch (Library Science) also makes guest appearances with the band. Sheets, Williams, Smith and Lynch are all featured on the upcoming release, Sleeping Patterns.
Anomie Belle’s material grapples with social issues ranging from American political apathy to suburban alienation, passive media spectatorship, social injustice, and consumerism. Anomie Belle makes dark social issues eerily lovely; befitting the name, in this music, alienation and social unrest mingle with charm and beauty.
