German singer-songwriter duo Mara & David meld rock drive with classical technique. After a period of personal struggle,including an ongoing coming-to-terms with the duo's visual impairments,the two musicians have found a new sense of urgency and joy on Call It Freedom. Mara & David's thoughtful songs,animated by von Ferne's sometimes earthy, sometimes delicate voice and Sick's stunning, percussive playing,move from childhood sanctuaries "Cherry Tree" to personal crises "Like A Stranger". They grapple with the difficulties of finding an ethical, compassionate place in an unjust world "Call It Freedom" and with turning the dark night of the soul into a burst of breathless light.
