About
Also known as: Anoorak, Anorak
Anoraak is Frédéric Rivière, a French multi instrumentalist who started out drumming in Pony Pony Run Run before building his own dreamy, synth soaked project on the side. His 2008 debut Nightdrive With You was first pressed in just 1000 copies, yet the title track spread across the blogosphere and landed on the Myspace US homepage. He's part of the Valerie Collective alongside College, Minitel Rose and The Outrunners, and his sound sits somewhere between disco, new wave and sunset pop. Over the years he has teamed up with Sally Shapiro, Slow Shiver, Lydmor and plenty of vocalists, and remixed the likes of Neon Indian and Mika. After a long run of EPs and singles on labels such as Eskimo Recordings, Partyfine and Paper Recordings, he returned to the album format in 2025 with Golden Hour on Juliet Records, the label of Chromeo. It leans into disco and electro pop, with a few detours towards yacht rock.
