‘marble arch’ is the latest single from young UK band mary in the junkyard. It continues to develop their interesting sound, which blends a sense of hazy experimentalism with a gift for melody and vivid storytelling. “I wrote the words to ‘marble arch’ in the back of the book 'wise children' under the actual marble arch,” they explain. “It's about the intense relationship between sisters, and leaving home and not wanting to come back.” The track is accompanied by a disconcerting live session shot in night vision. ‘marble arch’ is taken from mary in the junkyard’s upcoming debut EP, This Old House, which is due for release on May 9th, 2024, via AMF Records. -Dan Peeke
