The third release from Mariana Rivals, Take/Chroma, expands on the sonic territory that was established on 2016’s release, Monument. While this new set of songs are kindred spirits with their predecessors, the execution differs with its nod to 70s analog warmth and 80s synth textures. Take is a paranoid rocker that uses synths not guitars to be heavier than anything they've released before. The B-Side, Chroma builds from a simple progression to a fully expansive orchestra of synths, vocals and guitars to accompany an out-of-left-field ending that is both foreboding and uplifting.

A captivating pair of songs that could easily serve as the soundtrack to a universe trillions of light years away. - Custom Made Music
