Hailing from Los Angeles, El Anix is the electronic rock concoction of producer Brandon Smith. Having been recently signed to Música FiXT, an independent Detroit based label known for its association with popular artists Klayton (Habitante de celda, Círculo de polvo, y Escandroide, also Arreglar founder), Bret Autrey (Acero inoxidable azul y Neón al atardecer), El algoritmo, y Voces, El Anix’s debut single with the label, ‘Fight The Future’, immediately establishes the project as stylistically perfect for the label, much of the Arreglar roster revolving around similarly focused electronic sounds and direction.
Initially founded in 2001, by frontman Brandon Herrero, and later bringing brother Logan Smith and close friend Chris Dinger on board to flesh out the project, El Anix was further established as time went on, touring heavily and releasing five studio records; An Illusion of Time (2004), Play, Dance, Repeat (2005), Demolition City (2008), Sleepwalker (2011), and Ephemeral (2017). Following a conscious effort to reinvent the project’s direction in 2016, El Anix was gradually transitioned from extensively touring into a more concentrated studio group, before eventually reverting back to the solo project of its original frontman in 2018.
Newly signed to Arreglar, the El Anix‘s first single on the label features plenty of the enthralling synthesisers and electronic rock edge Arreglar artists are well known for, while Herrero‘s mournful vocal delivery throughout the track does plenty to see the already well established project step into a promising, brand new chapter.
