It’s been over 1 year since we last heard from Melbourne-based artist Anika Ostendorf aka Hachiku. The talented musician was born in Detroit, but raised in Germany. She decided to take a road trip around 42 US states, moved to London, but ultimately settled in Melbourne. During all that moving around, Anika created music from her continuously changing bedrooms.

We’re glad Hachiku is finally back with new music! We’re treated with a stunning brand new single and video. New single “Shark Attack” is about her sweet dog Lexus who was diagnosed with throat cancer. It’s a song about loss and grief and how we deal with such situations. Luckily, Lexus is all fine now! Once again, Anika totally delivers with a stunning and melancholic song. The song’s dreamy and melodic soundscape combined with her angelic vocals create a gorgeous and almost cinematic listen experience!

“Shark Attack” is out now via Milk! Records. Be sure to watch the Micky Mason directed video below:
