Kedr Livanskiy

Kedr Livanskiy (Russian for "Lebanese Cedar") is the moniker of Yana Kedrina, a Moscow-born singer and producer whose brand of electronic pop draws on '90s techno and jungle influences. Her early releases, such as the 2016 EP January Sun, sounded as frozen and wintry as her surroundings, yet contained a hopeful, longing quality. Her sophomore full-length, 2019's Your Need, while just as haunting as her prior work, was much brighter and more energetic. 2021's Liminal Soul recalled her earlier sound while also incorporating acoustic instruments and featuring one of her first English-language songs.
