And So We Wait by Marje, or, the best album of 2010 you didn’t know about (and it’s not even your fault)
This is one hidden gem in a haystack of hidden gems. My considerable Google-fu and Facebook stalking skills have revealed close to nothing about the art or the artist:
1) Marjorie Teo is an FSV graduate now based in London;
2) She probably plays the piano.And that’s that. I don’t remember how I first came across the album, but it’s a beautiful collection of short, very accessible piano pieces, and wonderfully arranged with strings and some ambient stylings. You know, the perfect minimalist soundtrack for a black and white short film. But also so much more. It’s what I imagine Vessels would sound like without the drums and the noise. It’s what — pardon me — Amberhaze might sound like if he was a girl in film school with a bit more classical training. That’s not really saying anything.
Pity about the album art though, if you can call it that.
And So We Wait is streaming for free and worth every penny of the ₤5.50 download here.
