Info:

Ranking Records 10th Release Sees Russian Producer/vocalist Marina Faib Burst Onto The Scene With A 12inch That Is Frankly Nothing Short Of Astonishing. For A Girl Born In The 1990s, Faib Shows Astounding Maturity In Her Restrained Approach To Sound And Rhythm, Employing Stuttering Drum Loops To Underlay Soundscapes That Would Put Many A Hollywood Composer Out Of Work. Ticking Clocks Is A Spine Tingling Example Of This: The Texture Of The Track Comes From A Euphoric Choral Sample Which Soars Over A Deep Chasm Of Sub Bass Energy, Climaxing In The Perfect Placement Of A Slithering Arabic Reed Solo. Whisper Of Trees Shows The Same Mastery Of Atmosphere And Musical Arrangement - This Time The Tune Is Built From Blissed Out Vocal Lines, Warm Synth Pads And A Pulsating Low End.
