Red color vinyl version. "More Eaze and Claire Rousay's collaborations are effortlessly joyful; their music evoking the warmth and respect they have for each other. Their bond goes back to their youthful hometown of San Antonio, Texas where they played in country outfits and noise rock bands respectively. More Eaze (the moniker of violinist/multi-instrumentalist Mari Maurice) and Rousay have spent the past decade pushing boundaries, standing together at the vanguard of genre-shattering music that thrills and surprises with its vulnerability and creativity. no floor weds their prowess as sound designers and masterful skills as composers with their skills as acoustic instrumentalists. Eschewing the auto-tune inflected pop-psychedelia and found sounds of their previous collaborations, no floor is collage music as pastoral melancholia, a lush tour into their own version of Americana. On no floor the pair created their own elaborate sound world. 'It was a conscious choice to spend a lot of time making fucked up sounds and then figuring out how they could be beautiful in another context,' notes Maurice, 'With this record I had no idea what Claire would do on each track, and we were both trying to match each other's 'freak' in terms of sound design.' Rousay's ostinato guitar patterns and acoustic strums swim through tides of Maurice's pedal steel. Glitching electronics burble in dynamic fits as dramatic strings add waves of tension and release. No Floor's pieces are atmospheric, living biomes that breathe and grow with each passage, rewarding close listens with the revelation of its emotional core. The five tracks that make up No Floor were named for seminal bars in the pair's shared history, or as the duo humorously refer to them, 'Pillars of our debauchery.' No Floor is an introspective reflection on the emotional turmoil of youth as much as it is a celebration of a camaraderie forged in that turmoil. The album exemplifies the duo's shared skills in unearthing new and exciting sound arrangements, evoking the warmth and affection of their friendship and musical fearlessness."

"Pop at its most fragile, attenuated and surreal." -New York Times, Best of 2024

"The whole album flows like Brian Eno's Another Green World through the ears of a big Pedro the Lion fan." -Rolling Stone, Best of 2024
