Announcing the debut solo album from one of Aotearoa’s most gifted artists Mara TK.
An intricately woven masterpiece of truth, written through crisis, recorded through tape and filtered through a vessel without an ego left to preserve. This project really doesn’t deserve to be compressed into a press release, however…
Here is the first single ‘Highly Medicated’
Written following the passing of Mara’s Koro, in his words he explains …
“I tried everything to plug up the void: antidepressants, molly, acid, hiking, running, dancing, Ritalin, one-night stands, six-month stands, spending money on jackets, airfares for bad friends, and so on. Eventually I shut everyone out and I was finally alone. I takoto tūpāpaku au. I would put on videos of the old people here talking - interviews with my elders. They said ‘Love yourself, forgive yourself. This is where you start.’ and that’s been the best medication I’ve had so far”
