After releasing her debut noir chamber pop album Hour of the Wolf in 2017, Anastasia Minster went on to work on a more ambitious and comprehensive project: her second record Father, released in 2020. Three tracks were created in collaboration with English musician, composer, and record producer Steve Jansen (Japan, Nine Horses), and feature his signature atmospheric synth and string arrangements. Other tracks boast multi-layered cello arrangements by Canadian virtuoso cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne and trumpet parts by JUNO-nominated Tara Kannangara. The album was recorded at Sonology studio in Toronto using a variety of vintage analogue sound equipment. The lyrics are inspired by the works of Carl Jung, Hermann Hesse, and Andrei Tarkovsky.

Anastasia is currently working on her 3rd full-length studio album, Song of Songs - a conceptual music record exploring the theme of love and featuring a 30-piece orchestra.
