Mree is the project of Portland-based multi-instrumentalist Marie Hsiao. She blends elements of classical music with both electronic and folk, a combination that has some dubbing her unique sound “folktronica.”
She is inspired by Japanese artists such as composers Mahashi Hamauzu and Shiina Ringo and on her dreamy single “Mree” she reminds me quite a bit of artists such as Julia Holter, Joanna Newsome, Kishi Bashi and Andrew Bird. The combination of her vocals over the lush instrumentals give off a real ethereal quality that wastes no time winning you over with its warm glow.
