Anticlines is a solo studio album by Lucrecia Dalt, a Colombian musician based in Berlin. It was released on 4 May 2018 through RVNG Intl. It received universal acclaim from critics.
Lucrecia Dalt created Anticlines primarily using Nord Modular, Moogerfooger MuRF, and her voice. She wrote the lyrics with Henry Anderson. The album's title refers to a type of geological formation. Music videos were released for "Tar" and "Edge".
Philip Sherburne of Pitchfork stated, "what makes this a truly special record is its vocal dimension." He added, "A world away from her singing style on previous albums, Dalt's performance here combines captivating spoken-word passages with subtle vocal processing that sounds like the product of a chromed larynx." Daniel Cole of XLR8R stated, "deeply framed messages are tied together with abstract jagged music, rigid sound design and haunting, poetic vocals, to create a richly layered record." Danijela BoÃÂev of The Quietus commented that "This is an immersive listen, full of eerie familiarity and suspended body horror; a quasi-mystical sense of oneness gives Anticlines cohesion and a sense of spiritual comfort, and somehow reminds one of the vast indifferent universe as we descend into environmental disaster."
