Pieces Of Driftwood

I'm always amazed at Maxine Funke's ability to meet the listener exactly where they're at, offering a deep breath or a hand-hold via gentle fingerpicked guitar, intimate lo-fi production, and ethereal vocals. In Pieces Of Driftwood, an eclectic mesh of Funke's singles and previous unreleased tracks provide the perfect cross-section of her kaleidoscopic approach to folk music; where drum machines, shimmering ambience and glitch, pull listeners deeper into her introspective dreamscape. - Rosetta

 
A collection of non-album singles, tracks recorded for compilations, and new material by the New Zealand singer-songwriter.

"Maxine Funke's music, immediate and entirely unpretentious, suggests a world in which Katherine Mansfield rubs shoulders with Liz Harris, or Vashti Bunyan." - Digital Regress 

"There are times when Maxine Funke’s songs feel so light, it seems as if a heavy sigh could blow them away. But hold that breath, and her curious, knotty guitar quickly takes hold. Bring them on a walk, and the songs take on a kaleidoscopic quality as the shifting improvisations of birds, neighbours, bugs, and traffic peek through her murmured melodies." - Pitchfork
