Info for Unusual

Minimalismus zwischen Pop, R&B und Electro: Das US-Duo Marian Hill veröffentlicht sein zweites Album Unusual. Bereits vor vier Jahren bezeichnete die New York Times sie als US-amerikanische Antwort auf AlunaGeorge, jetzt knüpfen Marian Hill aus Philadelphia mit dem zweiten Album an ihren US-Platinhit Down an: Unusual heißt das zweite Studioalbum, auf dem auch die zuletzt veröffentlichten Songs Subtle Thing und Wish You Would vertreten sind. Gerade Subtle Thing ist ein weiterer Beweis dafür, wie gut Marian Hill es verstehen, die menschliche Stimme und absolut spärliche und überraschende Arrangements zu Songs zu verschnüren, die catchy und episch zugleich wirken.

Marian Hill
is an American songwriting duo from Philadelphia, made up of production artist Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol, heavily featuring improvisational jazz musician Steve Davit, debuting in 2013 with their first EP 'Play'.[1] In 2015, they released another EP, 'Sway'. The New York Times published a review of the duo after the release of Play, comparing them to other well-known electronic and R&B-influenced groups. The duo is going on tour in 2015 across the US. Their name is based in the two main characters from the musical The Music Man: Harold Hill and Marian Paroo.

After meeting each other at Haverford High School, Jeremy Lloyd studied music theatre at Yale University, Samantha Gongol music business at New York University, and Steve Davit music industry at Drexel University. 'Whisky', the first song the two ever wrote together, describes a woman in control of her own sexuality. They moved on to create songs like 'Lips' and 'Got It', mixtures of blues, jazz, heavy bass and delicate vocals. On 25 November 2014, Romanian pop star INNA released Diggy Down, which gives Marian Hill feature credit for the hook of 'Got It', the video of which received 1,000,000 views before their show at Boot & Saddle, Philadelphia[citation needed]. After their first collaboration with Davit, the audience demanded more saxophone, resulting in the iconic sound produced by the duo and their collaborator presently. Currently, Marian Hill has nine songs to their name and one album called 'Sway'.

This album contains no booklet.
