Marsy

As festival season ends, Marsy welcomes in the autumn with Miss Wave, a brand new single and EP of five new tracks with the same title; it follows the band’s debut Magic EP which was released back in the spring. Talking about the track, Hannah Rodgers, Marsy’s lead vocalist and songwriter said: “Miss Wave was written at a time when I was really struggling to deal with massive feelings that were essentially drowning me. It was like a mantra back when I was finding it harder to manage life and needed a reminder not to give in and act out on impulse. I think that night I wrote it, a few glasses of wine in, somewhere in my subconscious ‘It Be’s That Way Sometimes’ by Nina Simone was probably playing in my head.” ‘Miss Wave’ the EP is released on November 20th. The EP is one part bucolic folk, one part Wire-esque angular rock n roll and five parts magic. From the title track’s hypnotic metronomic drone to ‘My Old Guy’s’ haunted dancehall soundtrack via ‘All My Love’s’ beautiful harmonic overdrive, this is the sound of a young band finding confidence and cohesion in their own weird selves and letting it guide them onwards and upwards. Wrap up warm, play loud and prepare to fall in love. ‘Miss Wave’, ‘You Can You Cant ‘and ‘Restless’ were recorded in Margate with Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP) on production. Lindsay also produced the band’s previous Magic EP. ‘My Old Guy’ was recorded at Blackbox studio in France and ‘All My Love’ is a bedroom demo.
