about

“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.
