Love your tonal ambiguity (D Major/B Minor)! Such nice interplay between your voice, the steady piano, and Steve's gentle additions.

This song has a quality I can't put into words yet. But one thing is sure: it's certainly one of this year's best songs so far!

Listening to the song again, I really like the sonic details. Such a soft yet broad sound! Even though "soft" merely describes it... it's like aural velvet! :) And the lyrics reach the Leonard Cohen level, meaning they could easily be poems, even without music. I can't wait to listen to the whole album. :)

Distant Echoes & Close Encounters

Close Encounters

The upcoming debut album release from Moscow-born artist Anastasia Minster, Hour of the Wolf, is dark and existential with a Rachmaninoff-like intensity that pours out of her own piano-driven jazz-inspired chamber pop. The album is due out September 22. The first single, “When I Die” is available as an approved downloadable mp3.

When I Die

Anastasia Minster offers the malevolently picturesque title track off of her upcoming album, Hour of the Wolf, due out September 22. The “Hour of the Wolf” is a shadowy period between night and dawn (4-5 a.m.) when most people die and most babies are born. It is a crossroad of sorts where things can either be destroyed or have a new start.

The condescending forces of the politics
Melting down the reason
The never ending blows into the circuitry 
Shaking up the system

Meander,
Find escape before it's late
Meander,
Take the shelter from the plague

The freedom bending chapters of the new doctrines impale our lips like fishes'
The cleansing victims left in utter disbelief picking up the pieces 

Meander,
Find escape before it's late
Meander,
Take the shelter from the plague

But when the fire breaks
Oh the lives at stake..
We all feel insecure
And when the chemistry does its dirty deeds
We all feel insecure

The never ending blows into the circuitry 
Shaking up the system

Meander,
Find escape before it's late
Meander,
Take the shelter from the plague

South of the border
West of the sun
The silence is golden 
Till you pierce it with sound
My heart is the beacon
Transmitting non stop
And sooner than later
You'll break the code

Even if the world's not enough
We'll come back as binary stars
We'll bend the space and time
Stretch now into forever
Only of the world's not enough

Surrender your body to me
Your mind will follow the lead
Because time will never let go
But right now 
We are invincible

There's too many voices
But you can hear mine
Forget about vision
You have to go blind
Beware of the sirens
They'll lead you astray 
But sooner or later
You'll find the way

Even if the world's not enough
We'll come back as binary stars
We'll bend the space and time
Stretch now into forever
Only of the world's not enough

Surrender your body to me
Your mind will follow the lead
Because time will never let go
But right now 
We are invincible

Invincible (In The Shadows)

“Father” is the second single from the new record due out April 2, 2020. It is the title track, and is based on certain deep personal experiences of the artist. The lyrics are both psychoanalytic and theological and are inspired by the doctrine of the trinity. The piece is built around the vocals, supported by the dramatic synth and string section created by Steve Jansen.

Anastasia Minster - vocals, piano
Steve Jansen - strings, synths and effects
Julian Anderson-Bowes - upright bass
Eric West - drums

Recorded, mixed and mastered by Jeff McMurrich in Toronto.
