Anastasia Coope

At just 21 years old, Anastasia Coope’s talents as a musician, painter and folk artist are formidable, but it’s her haunting baritone that may first draw listeners in. Using layered recording techniques, she builds vast vocal choirs that sweep, chant, and swirl through her music, creating a phantasmic ether around her spectral timbre. She hails from the village of Cold Spring in upstate New York. Her work bears the lineage of classic psychedelic folk and can sound, at once, persuasively vintage and strikingly new.

Coope debuted in 2021 with her self-released EP ‘Seemeely’, establishing her richly naturalistic recording approach. She was then invited to perform at the Dutch music festival Le Guess Who by curators Animal Collective, before opening a series of tour dates for Avey Tare. She also caught the ear of art-punk legends Liars, whose frontman Angus Andrew issued her first seven-inch ‘Tough Sun’ on his No Gold imprint. Now signed to Jagjaguwar, Coope released her debut album ‘Darning Woman’ in May of this year.
