I'll Be a Virgin, I'll Be a Mountain

Maximilian Hecker

Delicate piano and acoustic guitar arrangements supporting a high, trembling falsetto. A collection of fragile hymns recorded with an almost painful intimacy.

It's like a warm blanket made of the saddest piano melodies you've ever heard.

A fragile, crystalline sadness that feels both lonely and deeply comforting.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the title track's piano melody seems to hesitate between notes as if unsure of its own beauty.
The stark transition into the eleven-minute Dylan cover that closes the album with an exhaustive, fragile patience.
The sudden, jarring intimacy of the breath sounds before the first lyric of Snow White.
