Maru Martinez is the Guitarist for the Progressive Metal band Paper Hero. Last week she released her solo debut EP, "Vela", and it is a breathtaking departure from Metal of Paper Hero. On this project her intricate guitar playing is on full display and accompanied by the intensely talented Jessica Burdeaux of City Mouth on drums.
The lone track with vocal is called “Sola” and features a contribution from Bernadette Conant of Bernie & The Wolf.
This EP is thoughtful, beautiful, Post-Rock, and after three times through, still left us wanting more.
