Maria Minerva is a songwriter from Talinn, Estonia.
In addition to the local buzz surrounding her home recordings she has had her tracks produced by Jason Grier and has performed with John Maus. Maria Minerva, (also known as UNCANDY) is the first artist outside of the USA to have released music with Human Ear.
She creates drenched, quizzical popscapes that suspend time, while defying the dreary self-importance associated with fuzzed-out modal pop. It is, on the contrary, a beguiling and uplifting listen.
Human Ear is pleased to welcome Maria Minerva to its 2010 compilation series.
