Maria BC - Spike Field (Vinyl)
Spike Field was recorded in the home of a family friend. The home featured an out-of-tune baby Steinway piano, complete with squeaky hammers and strange, sporadic sounds. The piano is sprinkled throughout the album, and features extensively on opener Amber, showcasing Maria BC’s looser, more extensive arrangements.
The song flickers with electronic wonder, like a wave seeking out its station, before crashing into the angelic choral introduction of Watcher. Strings, plucked guitar and buzzing swells accompany the classically-trained mezzosoprano voice on Return to Sender, a song that focuses on the frustrations and turmoil of being unable to reach a loved one - both physically and emotionally.
On Spike Field, Maria BC pieces together juxtaposing sonic landscapes and oscillating vocals to represent the thread of miscommunication that weaves throughout the album. If we listen, we might find something new within ourselves.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
