As Anika, Berlin-based journal-
ist-turned-musician Annika Hen-
derson has spent years leaving her
mark in the world of underground
music as a prolific singer-song-
writer, collaborator and DJ. In
2021, she returned with her first
solo album in more than a decade,
“Change.” Inspired by Rachel Car-
son’s “Silent Spring” and Hannah
Arendt’s “The Banality of Evil,” the
album features Anika’s half-sung,
half-spoken vocals over jagged,
dub-kissed post-punk. “Change”
always serves as a meditation on a
fraught global moment. As she
writes, “It’s a vomit of emotions,
anxieties, empowerment, and of
thoughts like — How can this go
on? How can we go on?” Monday
