An album so subtle and beautiful, the quiet release of Said the Shark´s debut album "Always Prattling on About Wolves" will only add to the mystery surrounding the band. Canadian singer & songwriter Maya Saxell teams up with Danish Kim Oxlund to deliver a record described as rare. Maya has received high praise for her quirky and clever use of the language. The tracks you can hear on the Iwave player speak for themselves.
"Hauntingly artful, Said The Shark captures the excitement of gifted young artists taking flight. It makes you nostalgic for something you've never had. These aren't just lovely songs; they're elegant, poetic, and most important (and most unusual these days), truthful."
-David Gilmour, Winner of Canada's Governor-General's Award for Fiction."
.Gaffa Magazine
"...Beautiful instrumental adornments wonderfully and discreetly point to Saxell's vocal qualities... The calm is slowly transformed into a kind of melancholic magic... very exhilarating for the listening ear..."
Soundvenue Magazine
"... A subtle and tenderly worked album... Saxell's amazingly beautiful, near-whispering voice sends tickles and shivers down your spine... They create a fragile, trembling universe... in its own crushing, level-headed manner, the stillness never becomes boring. Said The Shark has a disarming nerve and a heartfelt presence while an underlying layer of teasing hesitation holds your interest and pushes you below the dead-calm surface"
Denmark's National Radio P3
"... A quiet and mysterious album from start to finish... Conscientious and enchanting... Has its own powerful and hypnotic personality... Saxell's voice reminds a bit of a soft P.J. Harvey... I can't think of an album that I'd rather listen to in the evenings right now."
Urban daily paper
