My Sister Maura — Love is Repetition
Released from Raleigh, North Carolina
Indie Rock / Shoegaze
From the humid summer nights of Raleigh, My Sister Maura deliver Love is Repetition — a record that sways between the grounded drive of indie rock and the dreamlike haze of shoegaze. It’s a lush, immersive listen, where each track feels like a loop you could lose yourself in, the title’s mantra weaving through both sound and sentiment.
The guitars shimmer and blur at the edges, their tones bending and folding over one another like waves hitting the same shore again and again. Basslines move with quiet persistence, locking into the rhythm of drums that shift between urgency and restraint. The vocals, nestled deep within the mix, feel like they’re reaching you from another room — distant yet immediate, intimate yet untouchable.
Love is Repetition plays with cycles — emotional, musical, and temporal. Themes return like half-remembered dreams: the comfort and claustrophobia of routine, the longing in familiar places, the bittersweet ache of patterns that never quite break. The repetition isn’t just a concept; it’s the heartbeat of the album, pulling you deeper with each pass.
In a North Carolina scene that stretches from punk basements to experimental art spaces, My Sister Maura carve out a space where melody and texture share equal weight. Their music speaks to the quiet beauty in persistence — to finding meaning in the loops we live inside.
