Mary Knoblock – “Spiritus”

I’m so impressed with Mary Knoblock’s latest album “Spiritus”. This album is a journey that is personal and epic at the same time. Mary combines neoclassical music with electronic music in a way that does not sound contrived or overly serious. The standout track “Excuse Me While I Go Fall in Love” is the perfect introduction to her sound, piano lines intertwine with electronic elements that are both modern and classic.

What makes “Spiritus” impressive and unique is its ability to depict various emotional states. As you listen to Mary’s music, you will be taken through memories, dreams, and even nightmares, this is why she is doing something unique not any artist can do. If you love this album as much as I did, you can check and enjoy her previous releases here.

The UK garage elements mix rather unexpectedly with the piano tracks, which makes you want to bob your head one moment and cry the next. It has a surreal feel to it and with each listen, one is able to discover something that was not noticed earlier.

If you are looking for something that is a mix of electronic, neoclassical, and even dream pop and shoegaze, this album is full of it but it is not alienating or cold.

This record is exactly what modern composition should be, progressive, evocative, technically proficient yet warm, and most importantly, the kind of album that will stick in your mind for days, so please do yourself a favor and follow Mary on social media right now, add “Spiritus” to your favorite playlists, and let her melodies become the soundtracks to your stories and dreams.
