Darning Woman

Description

Darning Woman is an intentional, beautiful, sometimes conflicting album that shatters expectations around DIY music, chamber music, and themes often labeled as feminine. There is a richness and maternal instinct at play as New York artist Anastasia Coope connects the dots between physicality, the ephemeral, and the ultra-feminine. Darning Woman explores, among other things, the meditative aspect of sewing, mending, and embellishing, care and repair, viewing collection not as a greedy modern consumption but as a counterpoint to materialism. This kind of collection - the right choice, gathering things to create a home. In this light, Anastasia Coope is also the founder and leader of the Bonzo collective and performance series, an exciting new home for the kind of expansive and deeply creative scene that New York has been missing for some time. For fans of Adrianne Lenker, Haley Heynderickx, Connie Converse, Karen Dalton.
