Maia

The third Maia album, produced by Choque Hosein sonic alchemist of Black Star Liner results in an album of swaggering harmonic mezzotinted sci-fi folk with lush soundscapes,vocal harmonies and coiling banjos where folk elements have been distorted over symphonic slam jams with MJ handclaps or an intensified waltz ,on other tracks ornate jungle guitars and shimmering mandolins can be heard reverberating across the surface of stomping turbulent grooves. Like the sleeve its a densely richly piled flock ,velvet to touch but beneath enough musical glitter that sparkles to put a twinkle your eye .
