Los Angeles, US- Respected musician Anthony Anzaldo, otherwise known as Anthony Family has released two new songs, an original "Sex In The Car" and a cover of R'n"B legend, Toni Braxtons "Another Sad Love Song".
"For hours, we’ll explore byways.
For years, we’ll crawl through familiar boulevards.
After a lifetime of driving across dark bridges and bright tunnels, I’ll put the car in park and you’ll say “Lock the doors.” says Anthony Family.

Over the years, Anzaldo's band Ceremony have explored in post-punk, indie rock, new wave, hardcore and beyond. For Anzaldo, in 2024, highly personal, emotionally complex sophisti-pop is the order of the day and is a fascinating (re)introduction to Anzaldo as an artist on their own terms.
Anthony Family will also be making their debut live performance for TWITCHFITS HALLOWEEN II where he will be performing as the legend, Prince.
Friday 25th October- 1720 (1720 E 16th Street, LA)

In tracing Anthony Family’s DNA, if you were to point to Howard Jones, Prefab Sprout, or Yazoo, you’d be on the right track. Ditto the Blue Nile, Scritti Politti — or his all-time hero, Prince. (“I think about him every day in my life,” Anzaldo says of the Purple One. “It’s so beyond that, He doesn’t even consciously register as an influence.”
Anzaldo has been writing Anthony Family for years; he had a nascent blueprint for the album in mind for almost a decade. He recorded it over the span of a year, whenever he was able to get in a studio — “until I felt like I had a cohesive body of work that was reflecting where I’m at and how I feel.”
Which harkens back to Anzaldo’s core dictum making music: “What do I want from this song? What does this song want from me? What do I want you to feel when you hear this song?” he says. “And will that feeling be conveyed best through full band, synth, guitar, everything? Would that feeling be best with just meeting guitar? Or would that feeling be best over the span of seven minutes with a lot of space, you know?
“The process for every tune is different; getting to the destination is always different.” And it’s that destination that matters: the station of the human heart, and Anzaldo’s beats deeper than most. Meet the family.
