An unmistakable voice in the art-punk community throughout the '80s, Annie Anxiety has been best known as freeform punk poet contributing vocals to the likes of Coil, The Wolfgang Press, and various Adrian Sherwood's On-U Sound productions. Her roots harken further back to the nascent punk days when she fronted her band Annie and The Asexuals before she took off from New York to Germany around 1980. Soul Possession is her debut LP from 1984, produced by Adrian Sherwood and published by Crass though their Corpus Christi imprint. A deliberate chimera of punk iconoclasm, deranged industrial dub experiments and brash American theatricality, nevertheless the album ascribes to a minimalist structure. In doing so, Anxiety's arrangements recall those of The Slits, The Pop Group, Danielle Dax's Pop-Eyes and early Vivien Goldman singles.
