Marine grew in the gaps between the concrete of the city, with very different stories they hoped to combine uniquely into just one, where all they had listened to overlapped. Intuitive beats that make you want to move, bass hypnosis in the undercurrent playfully countering melody, and with a deep love of contrast, vocals which braid together over hooky guitar lines into a complex plait of old and new.
The songs of Marine are crystallised from mythology and fables, mingling with personal words and emotions to form tales of the ordinary and not ordinary. They describe themselves as Fable Electric. A genre all their own, made out of things we all know and things we don't know. The Underworld, Seal Demons, mighty Kraken, Werewolves, Witches and Gods.... even questioning the very nature of storytelling itself.
When pushed for comparisons, listeners have drawn parallels with Kate Bush, PJ Harvey, Radiohead, and Warpaint. These plucky girls have been running their own show in their own way, touring Europe and the UK, quickly building a cult following in Berlin and London, flogging countless handmade CDs and artwork. Their first festival season together last summer saw dynamite shows at Secret Garden Party, Shamabala and more, spinning their singles on BBC6, and being highlighted in Major and Independent magazines and blogs along the way. Momentum is building as they swim deeper into their concept, having just proudly finished their Debut album with a producer they greatly admire; Rob Ellis (Anna Calvi, PJ Harvey, Cold Specks). They are set to release their new single, their first official video, and a string of new tour dates, this autumn. Come along to a show and witness as each girls unique character brings surprising twists and turns into the music, the conviction of the sound they make being both wild and elegant. These are four girls who play straight to your gut from the heart.

“Submerging ethereal vocals and gentle guitars in an ocean of space.†NME
"Ones to watch in 2016. A soulful, powerful blend of understated but intricate guitar parts and dexterously interwoven vocals, which will tickle the fancies of Daughter and Warpaint fans.†Rebecca Davies (Drunken Werewolf)
"Its instantly apparent how beautiful a collaboration Marine are; dreamy, rich, robust vocals... It's the musical equivalent of a creamy post-coital blush." Kathleen Prior (Line of Best fit)
