Anarchytecture
''Anarchytecture'' is the sixth studio album by English band Skunk Anansie. It was produced by Tom Dalgety and released in January 2016 through earMUSIC and Carosello Records. Critical reception ''Anarchytecture'' received mixed professional reviews. The ''Clash'' magazine wrote that while it sounded "more sincere" than the previous album ''Black Traffic'' the songwriting was still "timid", citing the lead single "Love Someone Else" as "one of the dullest songs" ever written by Skunk Anansie.
