The feeling that Anastasia Coopes music transmits seems to emanate from a precipice beyond the material world, like a void or memory pressing up against the veil. Its exacting and enveloping, but unmoored in space and time: ghostly, spectral, far-out folk.
Darning Woman, her debut album, feels like a dispatch from another past. Akin to lullabies or nursery rhymes, its minimal folk instrumentation contorts into something staccato and strange led by Coopes expressive, stratified vocals.
In spite of the suggestion of antiquity that runs through Darning Woman, 21-year-old, Brooklyn-based Coope is very much a contemporary artist. Born to an English father and American mother (whose original Martin acoustic she uses to compose), she was raised in the New York village of Cold Spring. The lonely landscapes and small towns of the Hudson Valley populate her songwriting, setting wintry backdrops against the acrobatics of her voice.
Her experience making this record was a largely insular one, too; she began recording music while staying at a relatives empty home in Beacon, NY, experimenting with recording software in an empty living room, singing directly into the open space. Until that point, Coope had only thought of herself as a visual artist, not a musician but it felt right immediately. Throughout the next year, she worked to invent the lush, sweeping universe conveyed here.
Like Coopes paintings, drawings, and mixed media artworks, which occasionally feature among the imagery in her album and single materials, her songwriting yields an esoteric distance. It invites you to see, to feel, rather than know but for all thats arcane here, Darning Woman is rooted deeply in the things we can touch.
