Words: Ellie Ward
Hot off the back of triumphant sets at Reading and Leeds Festivals the other weekend, Marsicans have dropped a new track: 'Suburbs'.
The follow-up to 'Pop-Ups (Sunny at the Weekend)', 'Suburbs' was produced by Embrace's Mickey Dale and mixed and mastered by the multi-Grammy award winning duo of Fernando Lodeiro (Paul McCartney, Vampire Weekend) and Joe LaPorta (David Bowie), and sees the quartet bring out their distinctive harmony-laden, upbeat indie meets dirty pop sound.
This week has also seen Marsicans announced as support for Fickle Friends on their UK tour this autumn, including a date at London’at Shepherd's Bush Empire. See below.
"'Suburbs' is about the feeling of not being comfortable where you are," reveals frontman James Newbigging. "I'd just got back from a pretty hectic few weeks away and I was looking forward to being home. But then I kept getting bored straight away. I guess it's kind of about wanting more all the time: more experiences, a change of scenery, but not quite knowing why you want it or why you need it. I started over-thinking things quite needlessly. I remember go-ing past a man mowing the grass, making sure the curb edge was pristine, and it made me question everything, I don't know, but I was probably having a quarter-life crisis."
