Maravich

About Me

Harkening back to the days of when unselfish play was a common practice on the hardwood, Maravich pass melodies back and forth between the two members with finesse and grace that brings to mind the late, great "Pistol" Pete. Largely influenced by the pairing of Brian Eno with Robert Fripp, Maravich takes the duo's style and adds a modern twist to it that recalls more recent pairings such as Growing, Stars of the Lid, and Mountains.

Reviews
Aquarius Records
"First we've heard from these drifting ambient drone dudes from Ohio, but we're definitely digging it. Ultra minimal swells of sound. Dark and shimmery, distant melodic fragments glistening, everything a lugubrious creep. Haunting and mysterious, but soft focus and delicate. There's a definitely Stars Of The Lid vibe, the sort of endless expanses of rolling oceanic swells, as well as a bit of Growing at their most blissed out and dreamlike. The sound of Maravich is an active ambience, with reverbed guitars shimmering over metallic buzz, throbbing and pulsing, smeared with bits of delay, creating subtle rhythms, and constantly shifting textures. If they had a drummer, you could almost imagine some of these tracks, turning into lopingly propulsive post rock grooves, but instead, they remain in the realm of drift and shimmer, the two guitars reflecting off the other, creating lush harmonies and plenty of ethereal Fripp and Eno like interplay. So nice."
