Daneshevskaya, is the project of New York artist Anna Beckerman. Today, she shares new single, “Kermit & Gyro,” the track is the follow up to previous single “Scrooge.” The songs are Daneshevskaya’s first new music since the release of her 2023 album Long Is The Tunnel. “Kermit & Gyro” is moody and orchestral, “written in the desperation of a break-up,” per Beckerman. She elaborates, “I wrote it out of confusion and eagerness. It’s about clinging to the idea of what the relationship brought you and how the relationship can still be a part of you. But also feeling completely untethered and adrift.” “Kermit & Gyro” features several Long Is The Tunnel collaborators including Artur Szerejko(production, arrangements, mixing, guitar, bass), Finnegan Shanahan (violin), and Madeline Leshner (Piano).

Beckerman is a preschool social worker by day. As Daneshevskaya, she writes songs steeped in the folklore of her own personal history. Beckerman grew up in a musical family; her father is a music professor, her mother studied opera, and her brothers played various instruments in the house. She learned piano from her father’s grad students, and before experimenting with writing her own music, would sing the prayers she was taught attending synagogue. 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.
