The band, Clari Freeman-Taylor (vocals, guitar, cello, viola, violin), Saya Barbaglia (bass, viola, violin, backing vocals) and David Addison (drums), built “Blood” around a spiralling guitar figure from Freeman-Taylor, with Addison and Barbaglia weaving rhythmic and melodic counterpoints around it. The song is drawn from Freeman-Taylor’s experience of newfound love. Barbaglia says: “I know Clari so well that I could feel the change within her; this vocal could have only been recorded in that moment.”
Mary in the Junkyard’s highly anticipated debut album release! is bursting with creativity and experimentation, it is the perfect reflection of the band and one of the most enticing British debut albums in recent memory: a blend of dark fables, intricate melodies and moments of revelation. An original work that is a world in itself and an expression of true creativity.
Produced by Oli Bayston (Everything is Recorded, Olivia Dean), Ben Baptie (The Strokes, Young Fathers, Little Simz)
The artwork takes us on the journey of Clari in a past life as a sailor, welcoming us into the lore of the album.
