Spivak
Big 2007 Facts
Boomkat Product Review:
In what’s turning out to be a bit of a banner year for the dreampop reboot, Maria Spivak returns with her most fully formed and rinsable release to date, echoing Treasure-era Cocteau Twins with added Mediterranean shimmer, a Jane’s addiction cover, plus a standout contribution from more eaze, among others.
Maria Spivak showcases timelessly romantic pop shimmers across the eight songs of ‘Big 2007 Facts’, each steeped in classic 4AD, Oregonian grunge, and the natural soundscapes of Nicosia, Cyprus, where she recorded the album with Panayotis Mina. She allows her thoughts to roam in the countryside outside Nicosia, ruminating on a formative year (as implied by the LP title), to work thru a haze of feelings reflected in the music’s balance of hook-laden songs and hazed electronic textures.
It all feels torn between dreamy, synthetic rapture and bittersweet romance, ultimately resolving with a hopefulness in its ohrwurming melodies and richly harmonised arrangements. An absorbing emotive arc emerges in its procession from what sounds like an ‘80s folk lullaby in her opening duet on acoustic guitar and organ with Panayotis, ‘Santa Fe’, thru to the lightly autotuned shimmer of a closing slant on Jane’s Addiction’s ‘Just Because’.
In between, she puckers up with album highlight ‘Saint’ featuring more eaze channelling Cocteau Twins’ ‘Ivo’ to utterly swoonsome effect, while ‘So Serious, So Warm’ recalls the fingerpicked lilt of José González, but with Mediterranean gulls overhead, sharing a tone with her strummed adaptation of William Blake poetry in ‘8 Time Fold’.
All of that wouldn’t have been so effective without the shadowy cadence of contrasts registered in the ravishing shoegaze doom of ‘Parchment’, and her techno-pop sting in the tail ‘I’m Allowed to Change My Mind’, which sounds like she’s breaking out of her own skin in some ritualist possession or transformation enacted under a Mediterranean moon…
