about

Grounded in nostalgia yet reaching for what feels like futurism captured in film noir aesthetics, Soare Staniol’s music has gathered a sort of a cult audience since their first performance in 2014 and has continued to charm their fans with increasingly immersive experiences.

Fronted by classically trained musician and radio personality Maria Balabas, Soare Staniol’s music is an intoxicating blend of spoken word poetry and acoustic instruments enveloped in electronics in constant dialogue with each other. Visionary electronic producer Sorin Paun alongside accomplished classically trained musician Mihai Balabas, veteran experimental woodwinds musician Calin Torsan and polyvalent violinist Marina Pingulescu complete the Bucharest based quintet’s unique sound.

The band’s self-titled debut album is a labour of love filled with longing and fantasy that appeal to the innermost rhythms buried in our human nature. Maria’s voice guides the audience with words of introspection and urban zeitgeist while the soundscape swells with captured sounds of the city and lush electronics intertwined with the rawness of acoustic instrumentation.

Soare Staniol is much more than just an album, it’s an experience that challenges you to discover a whole new world with its own rewritten mythology, and indulge in a little sonic escapism.

The album will be available worldwide on the 9th of October and marks the start of the band’s collaboration with Romanian indie label Underdog Records
