Anastasia Coope
Anastasia Coope's music evokes a precipice beyond the material world. Like a dispatch from another past, or a memory pressing up against the veil, it’s unmoored in space and time: ghostly, spectral, far-out folk. The New York-based songwriter/visual artist creates whirling layers of expressive, stratified vocals, suggesting lost lullabies contorted into alluringly strange, staccato shapes. Citing Nico, Brigitte Fontaine, and Scandinavian choral music as provenance, her work can sound, at once, persuasively vintage and strikingly new. Her debut album, Darning Woman, is a rich tapestry of surrealist psychedelia hailed by The Wire as “an album you can almost feel around you.” Darning Woman is out now on Jagjaguwar.
