CASSANDRA
CROFT
Discography
Her forthcoming full-length record, produced by Randall Dunn, introduces a new voice to contemporary music. Melismatic and ethereal, her voice evokes raw emotion through Rilkean lyricism that centers essential questions of the human condition, and of our time.
“In this first drop by Cassandra Croft under her solo artist name, we meet a fully inhabited performer with an obviously exacting ear,” wrote Lyndsay Knecht of Red Hot Org on Croft’s debut single, ‘Country Of Your Mind’. “Croft looms ominous as a songwriter just as her delivery hits the listener straight on with the unforgettable lines: ‘Hold the year / As a smile / Cast down / By a star / In revolt.’ ”
Croft’s vocals first appeared in 2020 on compilation by Grouper, a benefit for a local animal shelter entitled Let It Come To You.
Croft would later enter Circular Ruin Studio in NYC to record a full-length studio record with Randall Dunn (best known for work with Sunn O))), Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Earth). The record comprises nine tracks selected from a vast body of material, written quietly from life as Croft moved from the West Coast to NYC.
The summer of 2024 saw Croft as an artist-in-residence at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory Art/Science Exchange—with support from the National Science Foundation—where she deepened the ecological questions that belong to her songs.
In October 2024, Croft took the stage with Rachika Nayar and her string quartet at Knockdown Center, Brooklyn, opening for Alessandro Cortini (NiN)—a special performance of their cover of This Mortal Coil’s ‘Song to The Siren’ with Julianna Barwick, released on Red Hot’s TRANƧA compilation on November 22, 2024.
