Years into her career, Anika Ostendorf – the voice and producer behind Melbourne-via-Germany-via-Detroit indie-rock/alt-pop outfit HACHIKU – embraces a new level of vulnerability on their second album, The Joys of Being Pure at Heart. The album’s marks a journey toward self-compassion, openness, and embracing life’s ups and downs featuring members of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and harpist Mary Lattimore.Hachiku first entered the global scene via Courtney Barnett's Australian queer-run label Milk! Records where Ostendorf found a home in its community-minded ethos and DIY values. Through the release of their self-recorded and self-mixed EPs Hachiku (2017) and 99 Dreams (2020) and critically acclaimed debut LP I’ll Probably Be Asleep (2020), Hachiku has steadily built a loyal global fan base hinged on catchy melodies, shimmering walls of sound, and their praised live performances.
They have seen consistent support and acclaim from NPR’s All Songs Considered, Bandcamp, DIY Magazine, Clash Magazine and NME and are continuously invited to support household names around the UK, Europe, U.S. and Australia including Courtney Barnett, The Breeders, José González and Snail Mail.
