More Eaze is the moniker of Brooklyn-based composer, orchestrator, and multi- instrumentalist, mari maurice. A renowned collaborator both in performance and on recordings, maurice's own work is a fantasia, a reflection of her curious and explorative musical mind, encompassing entire spectrums of sound from a wide sonic pallet of electro-acoustic textures, folk traditions, and pop forms that pirouette into fully realized ecosystems. Sentence structure in the country is a definitive statement of thematchless quality of More Eaze's skill as player and musical thinker. The album relishes the ecstatic in performance and collaboration with an inviting wit and incisive compositions, imbuing tenderness, frustration, and joy into each passage.The title is an acknowledgement of the vernacular that shaped maurice's musical production. As Coltrane said, "It all has to do with it." maurice grew up playing fiddle in traditional folk and country tunes, and while playing on her album is entirely different, her reverence for the evolution of folk forms and her playing remain integral tothose performances. Informing her production choices were maurice's well- chosen collaborators: Wendy Eisenberg on electric guitar, piano and voice, Henry Earnest on electric guitar, Alice Gerlach on cello, Jade Guterman on acoustic guitar, and Ryan Sawyer on drums.sentence structure in the country is a collection of compositions, each beautifully realized, self-contained worlds. #maurice's dexterous, tasteful arranging lays bare her influences and obsessive fascinations with remarkable congruency while foregoing any sense of indulgence. Her music holds a density not only in the lush compositions and embellishing flourishes, but also for those moments of spare, minimalist beauty. Sentence structure in the country is a textural marvel, a mosaic of ethereal electronics and loamy acoustics sculpted around deeply moving, enduring songs.
