Grief is no Ally marks a major step in MAVIS's evolving career. The album, featuring eleven vibrant singles, captures their unique sound and lively performance style.

This first album reflects MAVIS's commitment and skill, with each single resonating deeply with fans. Their collaboration with Lela on 'Limerent' underscores their ability to forge impactful connections. More than just an album, this release is a declaration of MAVIS's artistic identity, positioning them as a promising new influence in the music scene, enthusiastically welcomed by both long-time and new fans.

The title of the record stands for 11 stories of different forms of grieving, ranging from the dark and negative sides to the positive and healthy aspects of embracing grief, letting go.

MAVIS planned the release of a full length in 2020 but were immediately struck with multiple setbacks in their young history. Not only did the beginning of the pandemic hit them right at the outset of their journey but so too did line-up changes due to illness, mental issues or members giving up on making music entirely. Just as they started playing again roughly eighteen months ago, their bad luck peaked with a studio fire in which they lost instruments, equipment and all merchandise. Right around that time, the two remaining members of MAVIS found a new drive, looking to complete their line-up once again. Since then the quartet have worked tirelessly on putting all their experiences into the songs that now make this jewel of a debut record. Going into the studio with a “nothing is holy”-attitude to produce the best music they can, their efforts paid off, finally, for everyone to hear.
