MAJA LENA THE KEEPER

Edging closer to the release of her debut album, former Low Chimes member Maja Lena has shared the mystical title track from the album, 'The Keeper'. Featuring elevatory backing vocals by Memphis Industries-signed folk artist Rachel Dadd, the beautifully simplistic track twinkles with sparse acoustic guitar parts and distant, hovering synthesizers. Inviting us in, Lena explains: "The song name ‘The Keeper’ to me resembles the keeper of the self...It is what I decided to call the album as it summed up a lot of the themes for me. The song itself is about our relationship to ourselves and how we view ourselves. Whether we hold trust in ourselves and if the way in which we strive can ultimately lead to us feeling less satisfied in life." The Keeper will arrive on the 23rd of July via Chiverin Records. -Holly Mullineaux
