TANKATAKA, the musical persona of Tetiana Kozhukharenko, emerges from Ukrainian roots to create compelling indie-pop from her Berlin base. Her powerful vocals and magnetic stage presence, combined with genre-bending production, craft immersive soundscapes that tackle profound themes of resilience and social justice. Her artist name, “Attacking Tank,” mirrors her fearless approach to music and life, while her songwriting delves deep into mental health and women’s empowerment.

TANKATAKA’s latest album “Anesthesia” is the kind of sonic journey that gets under your skin. Opening track “Mamo” hits you right away with these unsettling synths that somehow manage to be both eerie and mysteriously captivating. As the track builds, it layers in these ghostly, hushed vocals that dance around dramatic beats.
Then, “Anesthesia” comes in. It is a haunting journey through emotional darkness, opening with melancholic electronic elements that set up a gloomy, introspective atmosphere. The R&B beats drop in with this brooding intensity that immediately gets under your skin. What really elevates the track is her gorgeous vocal work – those layered harmonies in the background create this dreamlike quality that amplifies every emotional punch. That chorus is pure magic. It rushes in like a wave of feeling, hitting you right in the chest. The song’s structure is brilliantly crafted, flowing through various movements that keep you hanging on every note. Whoever decided to blend trip hop with dark pop deserves a standing ovation – it’s this perfect cocktail of atmospheric pressure and emotional release.

“Dzerkalo” hits differently – it’s this perfect blend of melancholy and introspection, where crisp beats and bass meet these atmospheric synths and guitar riffs to create something truly special.

“Unison” switches things up by dialing everything back with this melody that greets you like the first rays of the morning sun kissing your face. There’s this trippy vibe running through the whole thing that’s just impossible not to fall in love with. It’s the kind of track that feels like a warm hug, pulling you deeper into its dreamy atmosphere with each listen.
