Following last year"s debut EP "Devil"s Rain" which received critical praise from Pitchfork, BBC Radio 6 Music, KEXP and more, Maria recorded "Hyaline" across their untreated Brooklyn apartment in Summer 2021, like a wandering spirit gaining energy from different spaces. Their classically-trained mezzo-soprano voice soars over raw, etherial guitars; audio samples from Prospect Park - now almost unrecognizable - settle alongside tender, transformative harmonies. Mixing together different sessions, tracks recorded directly into their phone and samples collected over the years, Maria BC likens "Hyaline" to a "sonic collage." It"s a project of patience and trusting the process.[info sheet from distr.]
