about

Rita and the Labyrinth is the solo project of French/Basque/American painter, singer, performance artist, and multi-instrumentalist Maia Ibar (Dual-Split, TEEN). From various nests in snowbound New England barns, the cloudy sides of French Basque hilltops, and deep within Brooklyn warehouses, 'Lavender Ambien' was composed patiently and piecemeal over the last seven years with sketches and songs accruing layers over time, with support of friends and family such as the Lieberson sisters of Brooklyn's TEEN, Jen Turner (HWGM, Thrillionaire), Jane Herships (Spider), Pete Kember (Sonic Boom, Spaceman 3, Spectrum), Sam Fleischner, Baptiste Ibar (Bizi Gara), Oona Ibar, Zeljko McMullen (WISH), Pat Noecker (RAFT, These Are Powers, LIARS) and Camilla Padgitt-Coles (Ivy Meadows, Future Shuttle). As wistful, curious, vulnerable "Rita," Ibar invites you to join her in "The Labyrinth," a soft and winding sonic playground comprised of lapping synth waves, nostalgic ambient '80s fairy-pop soundtracks, and magnetic fields of slow sensual ecstasy. Ibar creates a bed that wins out over starting the day or a glittery neon fish that entrances you into following them on a prolonged underwater excursion. 'Lavender Ambien' as a whole listen may transcend the listener and release them like freed fireflies.

Grid Of Points
by Grouper

supported by 4 fans who also own “Lavender Ambien”

Grid of Points is more brighter compared to its previous sister album Ruins, yet the album still feels very dark, possibly caused by Liz’s inhuman ability to make the calming sound disturbingly beautiful. Every moment on here, yes that’s including that ending to Breathing, makes me feel so emotional in different ways, but Driving specifically has such a punch to it like no other. alicedreadfuls
