mxmtoon has released ‘plum blossom (revisited)’, a reconsideration of the early songs that propelled her to fame along with the focus track “stuck (revisited)”. The reimagined EP follows the release of “feelings are fatal (revisited)” and “the idea of you (revisited)”.
Along with the digital release, the double-sided vinyl – including the revisited EP on Side A and the original EP on Side B – sold out immediately. Fans can listen to it here: mxmtoon.os.fan
Working exclusively with women on the production was incredibly important to Maia who tapped Merrill Garbus (tUnE-yArDs) as co-producer, Maryam Qudus as engineer as well as Laura Sisk (Lana Del Rey and Lorde) for mixing. She spent two weeks at Oakland’s Tiny Telephone Studios.
Garbus is a playful collaborator, and at one point, had Maia bang out a beat by slapping two books together, which wasn’t a far cry from the original techniques employed on ‘plum blossom’. “I wanted the production on this new version to be elevated, but I also didn’t want to lose the childlike sense of wonder that limited resources can produce,” Maia says.
mxmtoon’s tour kicks off later this month with a show in London, returning to the US in December hitting cities such as Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles and more.
These shows are designed to be intimate and special with Maia playing solo and in much smaller rooms to enhance the connection between Maia and her fans. This mini tour hitting several major markets will be another unforgettable chapter in mxmtoon’s already unique career. More information about the tour here.
