Daneshevskaya (Dawn-eh-shev-sky-uh), the project of New York’s Anna Beckerman, writes songs steeped in the folklore of her own personal history. Her artist (and real middle) name comes from her Russian-Jewish great-grandmother, a person whose presence she has always felt although their paths never crossed in real life. Beckerman grew up in a musical family; her father is a music professor, her mother studied opera and her own songs often feel spiritual, less so by any religious connotation and more as a hymn-like, archival record of Beckerman’s own past, present, and future.

Through songs like the poignant “<a href="spotify:album:73Rso0TopoEw4xGJppcHki" data-name="Somewhere In The Middle">Somewhere In The Middle</a>,” the lilting "<a href="spotify:album:3knmKpCfct2IfzWPPwFQjM" data-name="Challenger Deep">Challenger Deep</a>" and the surreal “<a href="spotify:album:0t5XHU8pOHjB2Mwrzs28pB" data-name="Big Bird">Big Bird</a>,” the project paints a distinctive collage between traditional songwriting and modern turns of phrase that remain spellbound in the unadulterated luster of self-discovery. The seven songs read as both patchwork memories/diary entries and elegies to those in her life. Co-produced by Ruben Radlauer of <a href="spotify:artist:7gdb1IQFHFQqCc5KoLTYNC" data-name="Model/Actriz">Model/Actriz</a>, Hayden Ticehurst, and Artur Szerejko, the final versions of these initial demos also saw contributions from Lewis Evans of <a href="spotify:artist:3PP6ghmOlDl2jaKaH0avUN" data-name="Black Country, New Road">Black Country, New Road</a> (saxophone), Maddy Leshner (keys) and Finnegan Shanahan (violin), adding to the gleaming instrumentation that makes each song sound like a world within itself.
