Sorrow Makes a Stranger of the Self in Berlin Post-Punk Artist Rosa Damask’s Video for “Crygirl”

Rosa Damask, the solo project of Berlin-based musician Nastia Reigel, released the single “Crygirl,” which explores themes of estrangement and self-incomprehension through depression. The song features Reigel’s smoky vocal over a bass line, drums, cymbals, guitar riff, and synth pads, drawing comparisons to PJ Harvey and The Cure. Director Andrii Kaplia’s accompanying video places Reigel in burgundy-carpeted rooms with patterned wallpaper and gilt mirrors, where she crawls and gestures while encountering her reflections. Reigel, who emerged from St. Petersburg’s techno scene and founded the queer club night Грань in 2018, has previously released music through Hospital Productions and DKA. Her album “Adore You” on Downwards Records brought her electronic work to guitar-led post-punk, with the track “Bored” featured in Versace’s Fall/Winter 2025 runway show.
