Mary Knoblock Unveils Cinematic Sonic Journey in New Album Spiritus

Mary Knoblock is an avant-garde composer and artist whose deep, scenic emotionality is best expressed in her new album Spiritus which comes out on 18th April, 2025. With her breathtaking, neoclassical-electronic soundscapes, Knoblock undertakes transcendental journeys through reminiscence, intuition, dreams, and love.

As per Knoblock herself, Spiritus is “a sonic walk through historical moments in my life, forgotten letters that came to life, and haunting dreams.” And to explore these intricacies, Spiritus offers cinematic piano, UK Garage, Synthscapes, Folk, Pop, Shoegaze Dream Pop, and much more. This fusion of genres produces lush sound worlds that are only amplified by ghostly vocal harmonies that linger long after the music stops.

After the success of her previous releases, Spiritus delves even deeper into Knoblock’s signature style which beautifully marries emotional complexity with sonic experimentation. Each track flows like a chapter in a vivid dreamscape poetic novel, tender and often tragically human in the connections they form.

One of the most impressive pieces in her album is Excuse Me While I Go Fall In Love which is a prelude that transitions seamlessly into her earlier album Halo. The album gives an impression of an interplay between the corporeal and ethereal realms, every sound being one note in a grand symphonic tale.

Kyoblock’s exquisite vocal phrasing and stylistic choices in composing the pieces speaks to the character of the album’s title, Spiritus. Her contemporaneous composition ideology is fully visible and highlighted for all to see as she aims toward and achieves her Spiritus.

It will be possible to stream and download the album from all primary platforms starting April 18th, 2025.
