Much of the inspiration from MAITA came from Maria’s love of the indie-folk of the early 2000’s, channelling the emotional intensity of artists like Feist and Bright Eyes, which went against her own, “tendencies towards emotional restraint”. MAITA is in many was a release from that suppression, a chance for Maria to put herself, and her feelings first, a chance to, “demand the free space to say what I want to say”. Musically, across Best Wishes, MAITA expresses her freedom through an array of different sounds, it’s an album that blends lush musicality and moments of real visceral noise, a record that pulls them in with meandering dream-pop and then throws them crashing into driving riffs, clattering drums and raw, unapologetic indie-rock thrills. An eclectic, bold and exciting collection, Best Wishes is a record that celebrates expression, freedom and creativity, and channels them into a rather remarkable whole.
