Crack Girl from Down by Maia Banks
Maia Banks has been writing songs and making sounds from any instrument she can find for as long as she can remember. Her brand of stripped down ‘neo-soul/post-punk/urban-folk’ is described as being “smokey soundscapes using minimal textures and rich layers in well crafted songs using burnished vocals; her voice is husky, dusky and distinctively feminine, sultry, raw, soulful and hypnotic.”
