MAPLE GLIDER SHARES LIVE VIDEO OF ‘MAMA IT’S CHRISTMAS’ + RELEASES SPECIAL 7″ RECORD

Maple Glider today shares a live video of ‘Mama It’s Christmas‘ alongside the announcement of a special 7″ record free with all purchases of her debut LP To Enjoy is the Only Thing while stocks last through your local record store. WATCH HERE.

As part of her prize as winner of the 2021 Needle In The Hay competition from Happy Mag, Maple Glider will be printing a short run of a 7″ single featuring the album closer ‘Mama It’s Christmas‘, with a live version of the song for the B-Side. ‘Mama It’s Christmas‘ was the first song of Zietsch’s to bring her to the Pieater family, as the inaugural Pie School winner in 2017. As captured in her NPR Tiny Desk (home) concert, the release is an unflinching assessment of heartbreak, a stripped-back performance and captivating presence is all it takes for the hairs on the back of your neck to stand up, as she sings “I should have reached through the phone / Slapped you hard on the cheek / So that you could know pain like I do when you leave.”

Zietsch only started releasing singles ‘As Tradition‘, ‘Good Thing‘, ‘Swimming‘ and ‘Baby Tiger‘ in 2020, yet she has connected easily and earnestly with a global fanbase. Partnering with labels Pieater (Australia) and Partisan (ROW), Zietsch now has fans at Pitchfork, NPR Music, Stereogum, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Paste, KCRW, Gorilla vs Bear, Consequence, triple j, Double J, UPROXX, and more, for her devastating yet piercingly beautiful music, as well as over 3 million streams, a sold-out debut headline tour, opening slots for Julia Jacklin and Angie McMahon and most recently, the winner of the Music Victoria awards for ‘Best Breakthrough Artist‘. Needless to say, 2021 has been a breakthrough for Maple Glider, now soaring in hyperspeed.
