WOW.. jaw-dropping, full-body goosebump inducing ambient folk beauty from Dutch musician Mariska Baars under her Soccer Committee guise for Morc Records. Stripped bare and perfectly poised, Baars’ songs are slow and quiet, distilled down to the absolute minimum leaving just lingering guitar tone and that affecting, intimate vocal. It’s a mastery of simplicity and letting the sounds alone resonate and take their own course, nothing forced or hurried with an appreciation of silence. The mood throughout is contemplative and introspective, melancholic in parts but laced with the power to reduce even the most stone hearted to a dewy-eyed, quivering mess, enriched too with that similar timeless / precious folklore feel found on the Svitlana Niano bits, or that incredible Merula tape on Men Scryfa from last year… heart-stopper / heart-wrencher!!
