Maria Chiara Argirò har stille og roligt bevæget sig rundt i både den britiske jazz samt den klassiske og elektroniske verden, siden hun flyttede til London fra Rom for 11 år siden. Hun har været pianist fra en alder af ni og en nøglespiller i Londons multinationale jazzscene. Hun har lånt sine færdigheder til indiebandet These New Puritans, den frodige jazzgruppe Kinkajous, den beatdrevne duo Moonfish og for nyligt har hun samarbejdet med Jamie Leeming – deres album Flow fra 2020 har været nomineret til Årets Album i Jazz Revelations Awards og var Guardians månedens jazzalbum.

Men med sit nye album, Forest City, væver hun en glitrende tråd mellem disse bevægelser. Det markerer hende som en spændende elektronisk kunstner, hvor jazz møder Kelly Lee Owens, Jon Hopkins og Radiohead. Det er en konceptplade, om "naturens og byens dobbelthed", og hvor organiske lyde og teksturer synes at flyde over byspredningen.

Maria Chiara Argirò has been quietly weaving her way around the UK jazz, classical and electronic worlds since she moved to London from Rome 11 years ago. A pianist from the age of nine and a key player in the London’s multi-national jazz scene, she’s lent her skills to indie band These New Puritans, lush jazz troupe Kinkajous and, more recently, collaborations with Jamie Leeming – their 2020 album Flow was nominated for one of the albums of the year in the Jazz Revelations Awards and was the Guardian’s jazz album of the month – and beat-driven duo Moonfish.

But with her new album, Forest City, she finds a glistening thread between these movements: it marks her out as an exciting rising electronic artist, where jazz meets Kelly Lee Owens, Jon Hopkins and Radiohead. It’s a concept record, about the “duality of nature and city”, and where organic sounds and textures seem to flow above the urban sprawl.
