Immaterial Possession

for fans of… Cate Le Bon, St. Vincent, Jenny Hval
Award-winning jazz vocalist Marta Del Grandi returns with “Selva”, her most intricate and shimmering effort yet – a refined devotional suite of astute pop that effortlessly unites emotional complexity and divine organic arrangements with a sci-fi finish.
Her songwriting – patching electronic synths against ambient elements with a touch of modern classical – taps into areas that go beyond words. Beams of choral light radiate and permeate each track, with layered vocal drones that create a cathartic collision of sharp and soft textures. It’s a record of sprawling, ethereal pop that’s at once vivid, immense and fully illuminated.
