Anomie Belle is the project of composer, producer, audio programmer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist, Toby Campbell. She makes dark social issues eerily lovely" (Doug Haire, KEXP Radio DJ). Originally a classical violinist and songwriter, she released multiple solo records before creating her own beats and making her way into electronic, experimental, trip-hop music. A Portland, Oregon native, Campbell has performed at top venues throughout the Pacific Northwest, and has worked as a musician and producer in Madrid, Glasgow, Amsterdam, New York, Buenos Aires, and London. In 2006 she moved to Seattle to focus exclusively on Anomie Belle.

Anomie Belle's material grapples with social issues ranging from American political apathy to suburban alienation, passive media spectatorship, social injustice, and consumerism. Befitting the name, in this music, alienation and social unrest mingle with charm and beauty.

Anna-Lynne Williams (Trespassers William, Chemical Brothers, Lotte Kestner) is a regular guest vocalist with Anomie Belle.

Anomie Belle…should be heard by the world (Tom D'Antoni, KMHD Radio, Portland).
