Rebirth and Resilience: Marmozets' Journey to 'CO.WAR.DICE' and 'New York
Marmozets have revealed details about their highly anticipated new album 'CO.WAR.DICE' and shared their latest single 'New York'. The band took a break from the music scene for eight years due to personal reasons, including COVID, parenthood, and everyday life. Singer Becca Bottomley and guitarist Jack got married and started a family, while the band members went their separate ways. However, they reunited, with some lineup changes, to work on their new album.
The new single 'New York' marks the beginning of a new chapter for Marmozets. The song reflects on a surreal trip the band took to New York over a decade ago to sign their first US record deal. The experience was memorable and inspiring, shaping the sound and vibe of the song. The band's upcoming album 'CO.WAR.DICE' is a diverse and colorful collection of songs produced by Andy Hawkins and Jonathan Gilmore, set for release on May 22.
The album represents a new direction for Marmozets, with influences from old vinyl records and bands like The Cramps and DEVO. Becca described the album as a book with a beginning, middle, and happy ending, filled with personal stories and diverse themes. The band's journey back to music was not without challenges, but they found strength in their bond and the healing power of music.
Parenthood has brought a new perspective to Becca and Jack, influencing their songwriting and outlook on life. They emphasized the importance of family and staying true to themselves in the music industry. Marmozets are excited to share their new music with fans and have already started performing live again, connecting with both old and new audiences.
As they prepare to release 'CO.WAR.DICE' and embark on a tour, Marmozets are focused on staying true to their music and enjoying the journey. They encourage artists to take breaks when needed and prioritize their mental and emotional well-being. The band's resilience and passion for music shine through in their upcoming album and live performances, promising an exciting new chapter for Marmozets.
