A Beautiful Song Of Protest From Maven Grace Asks Why No Music

Maven Grace 
No Music 
Helium Records 
 
The third single from their second album, Surface With A Smile, which is due out very soon, No Music sees the UK dreampop duo Maven Grace don a darker thread in their weave work. The song highlights the true heroism of artists, especially musicians, who are forced underground by oppressive and authoritarian regimes. To follow your intuitively known life’s purpose regardless of the hostility of those around you is truly brave and inspiring. There’s something about music that bonds communities together, regardless of faith or flag, a good song can soften the hardest of hearts. Maybe that’s why some people want it to go away. Co-produced with Chris “Merrick” Hughes, known for work with Adam and the Ants and Tears For Fears, and with an ensemble of collaborators to hand, Maven Grace prepare us for October’s new album with the video for No Music.  

Eerie folk music glistens and pours from the tipped jug of play. A sequence of strangeness curls over and reveals angelic vocals that shine with their own inner radiance. Elements of mystery join hands with strangely familiar scales from other times. The words hypnotically fuse with the melody in shimmering resonances and drifting motivations. A beautiful backdrop of femininity drapes the framework with morish colour and sensation. No Music from Maven Grace contains everything good and peaceful about the gift of music, aptly portrayed in a dramatisation of dream and purpose.
