The Oakland-based artist Maria BC (they/them) has gradually opened up about their working process over the years, moving from a one-room recording process on the 2021 EP 'Devil's Rain', where they were careful not to disturb their roommates or neighbors, to the unprocessed apartment walks on 'Hyaline' (2022, Father/Daughter), and on to a family friend's home, where an untuned baby Steinway piano stood and where they recorded the album 'Spike Field'.

The world right now feels like an endless loop of bad news. Joshua Idehen doesn't try to make us believe otherwise. On his new album I Know You're Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try, the spoken word artist instead creates a poetic and musical sanctuary in the middle of the chaos, a place to land, catch your breath and find the strength to try again. The album was created together with his creative partner Ludvig Parment from Saturday Monday.
