Most people familiar with the music of Marie Eline will recognize her beautiful distinctive singing voice and heartfelt dictation of bittersweet lyrics. Completely stripped from that - this release solely aims to showcase her curious and playful universe as an instrumental composer. Trust and experimentation is key for Marie who - in her own words - only creates music to challenge and surprise herself. Navigating instinctively through polyrythmic synth ambience, guitar doodling, psalm-pop structures, weird samples, church organs and metronome-like drum machines - she creates quirky but adventurous soundscapes weaving through harsh realism and a sort of down to earth grandeur that feels equally at home in some deserted forest as in a remote industrial space. The only thing matching the fearless approach in these simple recordings is the complex wonder they leave behind.
