Maïa Vidal's God Is My Bike, a fresh and surprisingly mature debut album for such a young artist, has been winning hearts all around Europe and beyond, ever since it came out in October 2011. Maïa uses violins, accordion, guitar, percussion, toy instruments and her distinctive, strong & moving voice to compose and arrange her own unique music. She blends modern, confident songwriting with shades of old world melodies, and takes US on a journey that is at once sweet and painfully honest, yet never loses it's sense of wonderment. God Is My Bike was recorded in Barcelona. Gius Cobelli engineered, coproduced and played the trumpet and the drums. Marc Ribot played guitar on two songs. Maïa played all the other instruments.
