Shainia Shiloh Carrillo I've always been a fan of Maya's webcomic and her art and when I found out she's releasing music, I was ecstatic! She is so talented and 'ink and bones' gives me chills every time!

Loud Tristero Maya Kern's soft voice and softer ukelele are a real treat. "you don't love me" brought me near to tears. Favorite track: you don't love me.

krisna.jpeg Maya Kern is one of the most loveliest singers and artists I've ever heard. Her music is very personal and close, making even the saddest person feel connected and understood. This album is a big leap in her music and I hope everyone else has a chance to support this! Favorite track: ink and bones.
