Anosmic is the debut extended play (EP) by Canadian post-rock project The Wax Girl. It was written and recorded in its entirety by Alex Wright at his studio in Toronto, The Castle, and was self-released on August 8, 2014.
All tracks written by Alex Wright.
The cover art, titled Fossil 1 was created by Canadian artist, and Alex Wright's brother, Max Wright.
The back cover features a manipulated photograph by amateur photographer Harvey Naylor, taken in 1980, of a pre-gentrified area of Toronto.
The inner sleeve features a wintry photograph by Sara Deso.
Ride the Tempo called it "a 5-track EP of gorgeous post-rock ambiance" while Echoes and Dust said "this magnificent Canadian band has crafted something extraordinary."
Geyser Music raved "Remaining true to expectations of post-rock while discovering a unique tone and personality can be challenging for any musical group. The Wax Girl has accomplished just that with Anosmic. Ephemeral and grounded, other worldly and meticulously designed, Anosmic is a treat for all post-rock aficionados."
Way Too Indie praised Anosmic and said "With a strong debut like this, I cannot wait for more. Alex’s composition for these tracks make it easy to interpret multiple stories from the album, depending on the listener, and its tales are unforgettable."
Anosmic reached #1 on CJAM-FM's Top 30 chart for the week ending September 9, 2014.
