“Daneshevskaya...crafts ambitious DIY pop [and]...emotionally honest songs” - The Fader

Brooklyn-based musician and songwriter Daneshevskaya—a.k.a. the moniker and Lithuanian middle name of Anna Beckerman—recently announced her beautifully understated debut EP Bury Your Horses. Out on August 20th, the EP was introduced with its lead single “Dr. Johann Averies” via The Fader, and today Beckerman shares another wistful track off of the forthcoming record. “Sally and Bob were the names of two fish I won at a fair when I was four or five years old. I thought Sally and Bob were the coolest names,” she explains. “The song is a little bit frustrating, about feeling stuck or exasperated with yourself, and feeling like you’re so far away from the person that you used to be.” Listen to the song and watch its accompanying video now HERE.

Blending elements of classical music, chamber pop, art rock, country & western, even chanson, Bury Your Horses explores the loss of friends, lovers and acquaintances, and embraces the marks those relationships left on her life rather than struggles with the absences left behind. “Sometimes the songs were smarter than I was. When I was being very emotional or super sensitive, somehow in these songs I was able to be happy for other people even as they were leaving. I was able to wish them the best,” Beckerman explains of the tracks that she wrote across the past five years. “All the songs tie back to the gratitude I have for what being left has shown me.” The result is an eccentric and inviting debut that toggles gracefully between melancholy and humor, mournfulness and playfulness, whimsy and gravity. Pre-order Bury Your Horses HERE.
