Since she was fifteen, the Viennese singer-songwriter, producer and interdisciplinary artist, Anna Attar has been active in bands such as go die big city!, Vortex RX, The Hidden Cameras, and, in 2011, after moving to Berlin, she started her solo project as Monsterheart, a stage name that perfectly sums up her aesthetic vision.

Her music evokes a self-reliant little world in which she often combines very different extremes, through a unique blend of atmospheric Electronica, catchy Indiepop, melancholic Folk and gloomy Dark Wave.

Lyrically, Monsterheart also integrates themes that rarely have anything to do with each other, but which, when combined, create a beguilingly romantic yet slightly unfathomable mood: science fiction fairy tales, introspective journeys and contemplative realism.

This charming tradition of bringing together extremes reaches a new peak on Monsterheart‘s latest single, “Dreidel”, the very first preview of her fifth album, “Melody Maker”, which will be released via Siluh Records on January 21, 2026, whose Music Video, perfect fit for Halloween’s eerie magic, WL//WH is pleased to premiere .

“Dreidel” is what an internal monologue sounds like while doomscrolling… At first, your brain goes to judging everyone, and then you stop and think: Who am I to judge? And then comes the very evasive answer of: I don’t really exist, I am just an observer, I just want to immerse myself and dissolve in an abstract space. The Dreidel acts as a metaphor for opinions…made „out of clay”, which at first is a very structurally unsound material, but with air, fire, and time turns into something much harder, and then we send it off into the ether of the internet, without really questioning if it does any good or harm.

Infectious retro groovy Motown vibes and quirky atmospheric pop meet in an unlikely uncanny fusion of crispy, bouncy rhythms, evocative whirring swells of warm moody organ sound, playful pulsing croaky fxs and insistent emotive guitar melodies, to envelope pretty soulful female vocals, backed by Judith Filimonova’s enthusiastic echoes, of vibrant dreaminess and playful laughs, with a cozy a world of colorful sixties vibes and retrofuturism.

In the visuals, Monsterheart wears a tall checkerboard hat over platinum blonde hair and a glittery bodysuit against a shimmery, strobing silver backdrop to mystify with the “Dreidel” soundtrack. Crafty editing by Paul Pfleger turns one magician using hypnotic hand gestures into three and showcases them at different times in the choreography to sync seamlessly with the multiple perspectives of the soundtrack.
