Mexican Singer/Songwriter Graciela Maria has been singing since she was a little kid. Having lived in Mexico City for many years, she was part of the mexican electronic music scene and made music with local producers signal deluxe. In 2009 she met Berlin based producer Robot Koch in New York at his show at Coco66 in Brooklyn. They started making music together and Grace was featured on Robot`s album "Death Star Droid" as well as on the Ep "Listen To Them Fade". 2009 marked the beginning of a journey both musically and geographically for Graciela, as she moved from Mexico City to Berlin and started playing shows wolrdwide with Robot Koch. With "Many Places", Graciela Maria`s stunning debut album, she emerged into the light as more than just a featured vocalist on Koch`s electronica and dubstep driven compositions. Her own music breathes the vibe of classic singer/songwriters like Tim Buckley and Elliot Smith, with the music and the production being even more organic and live sounding than on the previous Koch tracks. The songwriting took place all over the world, as Grace traveled and lived in many places recently, accompanied by her little notebook and her digital camera, which she uses to record song ideas all the time. The topics she deals with, are both surreal and personal and are left up to the listener to be interpreted. Producer Robot Koch teamed up with friend and fellow musician Sneaky (Fingathing / Ninja Tune) to create this organic and retro futuristic sounding album, that incorporates Double Bass, Live Drums, Cello and other String instruments and well as a subtle touch of cutting edge electronic production which Robot Koch is known for. For her new album "Olvido", although working with Robot Koch and Sneaky again, Graciela Maria kept much more control of the producing part. The result sounds even more organic and acoustic than her debut. The electronic elements are very subtly used and the arrangements sound like a minimal playing but orchestral sounding folk band. This new album is calmer but more intense, like an intimate whisper in a church or cold water dripping in a cave. Only the song "Last Place" with its snarling bassline reminds of the earlier electronica and dubstep influences. More than the last album, "Olvido" includes songs with Spanish lyrics, nearly half of the songs are sung in Graciela Maria's native language, which once more increases the closeness of the songs. "Olvido" is life written in music, music that invites us to listen to the silent moments that pass unnoticed. The lyrics of this album embrace the empty spaces left by losses. It is a requiem to a past that cannot be grasped with words and that Graciela Maria holds with her voice to avoid looking into the abyss. This album is to be heard in solitude, to look inside oneĀ“s self and ask: What is it, that we see there? What do we listen to and who are we? Graciela Maria writes free verses, not looking for exact metrics. Her voice is floating on piano lines, drifting through organic sounds and gliding on cello strings. She creates an atmosphere of a standstill in time, remembering what has been, listening to the hours gone by.
