Group Rhoda is the solo electronic music project of Mara Barenbaum, based out of
Oakland, California. The project started around 2009 with a debut album æOut of Time,
Out of TouchÆ in 2012 on Night School Records and æ12th HouseÆ in 2013 on Not Not
Fun. She is also one half of Max and Mara who released the album æLess NessÆ in 2013
on Dark Entries Records. She is committed to live performance, situated within the
analog synthesizer and drum machine medium.
æWilderlessÆ is Group RhodaÆs third full length and first for Dark Entries Records.
Each of the these 7 songs draw forth tones of tropical darkwave and soft industrial;
while negating the sound of conformity and control. The album explore themes of
societal and spiritual displacement, contemporary serfdom, the depths of empathy,
regeneration through destruction, and the tyranny of claiming recognition and power.
Lyrics are poetically expressed through allegory and explore archetypes rooted more
in abstract observation rather than hard line experience. Through transgression and
imagination, Group Rhoda explores the arc of songwriting interwoven into stark
electronic environments; and creates a bridge between the corporeal and the dream
worlds.
Each song was mixed by Mark Pistel at Room 5 in San Francisco and mastered by George
Horn at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley. Each LP is packaged in a jacket featuring a
colorful custom made collage by Hugo Barros and includes a full color sticker and
digital download card.
