Do not be deceived…
This debut album from previous Sink Ya Teeth producer and vocal foghorn Maria Uzor treads softly upon opening, before charging, guns blazing, into a cosmic landscape of electro, avant-pop, footwork and stark techno. Nine tracks delivered as the building blocks for a world seen through Uzor’s eyes where there are no boundaries and no walls, just a gentle beckoning to be yourself. ‘Soft Cuts’ takes the listener on a joyful, groove-led journey with unexpected twists through the darkness. Eclectic and esoteric, the album revels in its own diversity. There are echos of Aphex Twin in there, of Zapp, Kate Bush, Drexciya and Proto Rave. And yet for all it’s influences, Maria has created a body of work that’s beautifully seamless in its amalgamations. Her call to arms? Play loud and lose yourself to find yourself.
