Beaks

Austria

“She’s since shared the single ‘Dirty Girls’, a track that features a dark atmospheric slice of post-punk with a hypnotic groove and presence that feels like a blend of Sorry and Wet Leg, with a distinct sharp edge to it that kicks off right at the getgo.”
Will Oliver, We All Want Someone To Shout For, 2024

The Viennese poet-turned-songwriter Anna Francesca translates her poetry into clipped, lucid song fragments, where language itself becomes a powerful instrument. Her debut single ‘I dropped the bottle’ from 2023 introduced a voice both fragile and fearless, and her latest single ‘Dirty Girls’ from 2024 drifts between dreaming and awakening with a Lynch-like sense of disquiet, asking “How do dreams work? Will I wake up if I die?”. With lyrics that balance confession and observation, Beaks sketches the quiet drama of everyday life.
