More Eaze

1 upcoming festival

Prolific Austin experimentalist blurring ambient, emo, autotune, and pedal steel into tender, disorienting sound worlds — quietly one of the underground's busiest minds.

More Eaze is the project of Mari Maurice, a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Austin, Texas. The work moves between ambient composition, computer music, country and pop, often within a single piece: pedal steel and violin sit alongside heavily processed autotuned vocals, field recordings and digital glitch, with song forms surfacing and dissolving.

Maurice releases at a considerable rate, through labels including Orange Milk, Astral Spirits and Full Spectrum, and has an extensive history of collaboration, most prominently a long-running duo with claire rousay. The results tend to be quiet and emotionally direct despite their technical strangeness, drawing openly on emo and singer-songwriter traditions as much as on experimental ones.
