London's mary in the junkyard have quickly become a favorite of ours, and if you haven't had a chance to check them out yet, their new single is a great jumping on point. "drains" is a noisy indie rock song that is still imbued with a surprising amount of beauty and pop sensibilities. The guitar is fuzzy and buzzing almost the entire way through, while the vocals seem to have an almost pop or folk way about them. At least in parts. Clari Freeman-Taylor does cut loose in a rather harsh way every now and then, and it's the dichotomy of the lovely and the abrasive that makes "drains" so captivating. Just try not to fall in love with mary in the junkyard after this one.
Clari Freeman-Taylor (vocals/guitar) says of the band's latest single:
“I am curious about the bowels of the city. We don't see what's below but there are many pipes and caves, and my friend once said, ‘If you bury yourself, i will dig you out again.' I wanted to immortalize it because it made me feel so warm.”
