Portland indie-songstress Maita’s debut EP, Waterbearer, is a rallying cry for the quiet warrior, the inquisitive seeker, and the fierce lover. The record is produced by Matthew Zeltzer, and engineered by John Askew (Neko Case). Maita’s soft, haunting voice both embraces and evades the hot core of desire. Her songs are visceral experiences, woven together with intricate fingerpicking and unexpected melodies.
