Berlin-born artist Rosa Anschütz, known for her spellbinding vocal work in the electronic underground, has released her new album Sabbatical via Wesley Eisold’s (Cold Cave, American Nightmare) Heartworm Press. Heartworm has previously released books by legendary artists Genesis P’Orridge, Mark Lanegan, Alan Vega and more, and Rosa Anschütz’s ambitious 14-track statement compliments the label’s catalogue with her haunting minimalism and visionary depth.
Swapping pulsing club beats for a raw, cinematic intimacy, Anschütz channels the spectral beauty of Moon Pix-era Cat Power, the mystique of Nico, and the experimental clarity of Björk and Dead Can Dance. The stripped-back arrangement foregrounds Anschütz’s arresting voice, carrying lyrics that feel both prophetic and personal.
With Sabbatical, Rosa Anschütz emerges as one of the most compelling avant-garde voices of her generation… an artist unafraid to dismantle genre, geography, or expectation. The album is a bold reinvention and a testament to the patience and precision of a singular creative vision.
