11.11

Description

For the first time ever, 11:11 vinyl is now available!

Maria doesnt scream her angst or snarl out her problems. She doesnt warble melismas with the glut of high-strung chart divas. With understated grace and aplomb, she writes the sort of classic, sad songs once favored by the first ladies of American songwriting. Her soulful melodies and honeyed vocals conjure those leaked from radios on nights we fell asleep in the backseats of our parents cars. Without leaning on nostalgia, Marias first solo full-length, 11:11, evokes the artistry of greats like Carole King, Laura Nyro and Rickie Lee Jones while it spans the spectrum from acoustic folk to electronic dream pop.

11:11s all-star cast features the talents of Cursives Gretta Cohn, Now Its Overheads Andy LeMaster, and Bright Eyes Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis. LeMaster and Mogis each lent his talents to the recording, production, and engineering of the record, as well, resulting in an album that sets Marias compositions awash in an ethereal, melancholic glow.
