We’re Listening with EMW: Stepping beyond the mortal plane in Maarja Nuut’s album, Hinged

VINCENT TEETSOV

In case you haven’t had the chance to listen to it yet, Maarja Nuut’s album, Hinged (https://maarjanuut.bandcamp . com/album/hinged), from August 2021, brings her voice to an even more remote place than we’ve heard before: the afterlife.

The title is deliberately bilingual, with “hinged” referring to spirits in Estonian, as well as how “one’s existence hinges on past generations...” As Nuut eloquently outlines the concept of her album, “...we are what has come before.”
