God Is My Bike, a fresh and surprisingly mature debut album for such a young artist, was recorded in Barcelona. Giuliano Gius Cobelli engineered, coproduced and played the trumpet and the drums. Marc Ribot played guitar on two songs. MAÏA sang and played all the other instruments.
This album is MAÏA VIDAL’s second recording, after Poison, a self-released EP she recorded under the name Your Kid Sister, which contained versions of punk anthems by Rancid transformed into haunting lullabies and plaintive waltzes, a homage to the songs MAÏA loved as a teenager.
MAÏA shares her time between New York & Paris.
