Maria Milvus (FI) seeks for bits of hope in the darkness, creating rich soundscapes with scarce ingredients. Her hauntingly beautiful melodies inspired by Nordic folk music reach out to you like a hand cold, yet loving. The fingers tenderly wrap around your heart, digging deeper ever so slowly. This brand of indie folk rock, delivered with powerful vocal expression, isn’t going to give you any answers: instead, it leaves you smiling and wondering why your heart is suddenly aching so much.
Maria Milvus’ live shows are executed by two masterful multi-instrumentalists: Mirva Ormin (vocals, bass) and Martin Ormin (guitar, vocals, stomp box). The duo summons a dynamic set of varying moods, swinging between subtle quietness and roaring sound masses.
