Few songwriters forge the kind of paths that Anthonie Tonnon has. While experiments with synthesizers, samplers, and drum machines have changed his sonic palette, a constant is his lyrics - which find character-driven stories in existential subjects: evolution and the future of work in Two Free Hands, or machiavellian local government politics in Water Underground.
Winning the Taite Music Prize for his recent album, Leave Love Out Of This, Tonnon has returned to a full band line up - creating a hybrid human-electronic form that combines the control and connection of technology with the physicality of a live rhythm section.
Leave Love Out Of This debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 26 July 2021. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for one week with a highest position of #9. There is one album by Anthonie Tonnon in the Top 40 Albums.
