Various Artists | Blacklips Bar: Androgyns and Deviants: Industrial Romance for Bruised and Battered Angels 1992–1995 (Comp.) | Album

Released in 2023 by Anthology Recordings, this 90-minute compilation acts as a sonic archive of the Blacklips Performance Cult, an underground queer collective co-founded by ANOHNI. Reviewers highlight how the album blends dialogue, sound effects, and ambient textures to recreate the chaotic energy of the Pyramid Club. It is described as a "cacophony of passion, stark violence, beauty, and maniacal humor". The album's importance in documenting a "lost world" of New York City queer subculture during the height of the AIDS crisis, predating the internet's influence on the scene. The compilation serves as a "first showcase" for ANOHNI's early music, featuring a primitive version of her song "Rapture" and tracks from her alter ego, Fiona Blue.
