Years into her career, Anika Ostendorf, the singer, songwriter, and producer behind dream-pop band Hachiku, is ready to be vulnerable. Her second album, The Joys of Being Pure at Heart, marks a shift from observing life to embracing emotional openness and honesty.

Songs like the new single, "Tell Your Friends You Love Them" emphasize vulnerability, hope, and community. The lead single "Time Wasted Worrying" carries a positive message of acceptance.
