I spend most of my days scrolling aimlessly (maybe not
aimlessly) through blogs, I can only explain it as digging for gold or a needle
in a haystack, but on the odd occasion you will find something really quite
beautiful, and today I found just that.
Her name is George Maple and their names are Maribou State,
both of them are London based. Her single ‘Fixed’ is due for release in the
very near future and is a vocal down the scale from Florence Welch, the upper
scale, with less shouting alongside the sounds of what can only be described as
early Passion Pit meets Gold Panda.
Maribou State spin ‘Fixed’ on its head, by what only seems
as playing it back on itself with a twinkling of piano and a Jamie XX-esq
re-work, not something anybody could grumble at.
What bothers me at
most about blogging about music is that the brain can comparison everything you
hear with something similar, even as it sounds so fresh. Although a comparison
is clear with ‘Fixed’ a contrast is also present, and that’s what makes it a
gem.
