Mexican singer / songwriter Graciela Maria has been singing since she was a little kid. Having livied 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; they soon started making music together and Grace was featured on Koch’s album ‘Death Star Droid’ and 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. They played everywhere from Sonar in Barcelona to some obscure art festivals in Bulgaria and Tunisia. With ‘Many Places’, Graciela Maria’s stunning debut album, she steps 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 production being markedly more organic and live sounding than her previous outings. The songwriting took place all over the world, the topics both surreal and personal, leaving it up to the listener to interpret. Producer Robot Koch teamed up with friend and fellow musician Sneaky (Fingathing / Ninja Tune) to create this natural and retro-futuristic sounding folk-influenced album, incorporating double bass, live drums, cello and other stringed instruments and well as a subtle touch of the cutting edge electronic production which Robot Koch is best known for. Graciela Maria is certainly an artist to watch out for in the future, as she proves with this timeless music that will appeal to Indie/pop listeners and lovers of dreamlike low-impact electronic music alike.
