With regard to Ten Thousand Islands, we could distinguish in their detailed folktronic, the extraordinary voice from the singer-songwriter Maria Monferrer, a mix that we could place between Joni Mitchell and Sandy Denny.

*********************************************************************
Behind the Anglo-Saxon name hides a Catalan tandem, formed by a magnificent and unknown singer (Maria Monferrer) and one of the key members of the always suggestive balago (David Crespo). The occasional notes of strings, wind and electronic only make bigger a voice that jumps from Joni Mitchell to Beth Orton, going from Cat Power or Vashti Bunyan. Pure luxury.

Brave and delicate, well balanced and intense, experimental and homogeneous, for sure that "Grey in the Air" will awaken the interest of the most sensitive audience.

David Crespo (balago) and Maria Monferrer are de duo of the 10000 islands. They live in a place where it’s possible to get advanced folk, pop melancholy, slow rock and electro landscapes. “Blurred Picture of You” and “Angel Faced” are marvellous.
