Darning Woman

Hailing from Cold Spring, a small town in upstate New York’s Hudson Valley, the 20-year-old vocalist/producer/painter, Anastasia Coope, is a formidable talent in several arenas, but it’s her striking baritone— a haunting, resonant timbre that can shift from spectral to serrated— which may first draw listeners in. Citing Brigitte Fontaine, Nico, and Scandinavian choral music as provenance, her music bears the lineage of classic psychedelic folk and can sound, at once, persuasively vintage and strikingly new.
