With effortless cool, .plaza blend Brazilian samba, cinematic Latin jazz and psychedelic 60s pop on new EP ‘Própolis’.
Moriah Plaza’s self-titled debut album, released on Batov Records in 2023, garnered critical acclaim and widespread airplay, across BBC Radio 6 Music and NTS in the UK, FIP in France, Bandcamp Weekly, and Apple Music, positioning the group as one to watch in the worlds of global pop and contemporary jazz.
‘Própolis’ EP picks up from the where the debut album left off, except now presenting more of a collaborative effort from the relatively settled Berlin-based group of (bass) and (keys, flute), originally from Tel Aviv and formerly of the shoegaze band Soda Fabric, alongside (vocals, guitar) from Chile and (drums) from the UK.
‘Propolis’ sees Moriah Plaza take strides into widening their influences and redefining their genre defying sound, and could very well appeal to fans of groups as seemingly disparate as Calexico and Khruangbin.
