Marsicans release new single ‘Your Eyes’
Leeds indie-pop quartet Marsicans return with a lovely new single ‘called Your Eyes, out now ’through LAB Records. Produced by Mickey Dale and mixed / mastered by multi-Grammy award winning duo of Fernando Lodeiro (Paul McCartney, Vampire Weekend) and Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, Imagine Dragons) Your Eyes sees the band turn introspective, taking on a much grittier approach to their indie-pop sound than previous singles. Really enjoying those energetic guitars and infectious pop hook. Check it out below!




Speaking about the single, Marsicans bassist/vocalist Rob Brander explains,
Your Eyes is a song about a particular time in my life when I felt I was being left behind by those around me. Everyone I had grown up with was making these big ‘life’ decisions and overarching plans for the future, whilst I was still treading water. I wondered what they might think of me, or whether they were secretly feeling unsure of them-selves but putting up a front. I think it’s impossible not to judge ourselves by the suc-cesses of our peers. Musically, the song went through a few different forms before ending up where it is today. James had a riff and a chorus that inspired the song ini-tially but neither actually ended up in the final version, despite even having been played live once or twice. We'll be playing this new version on our upcoming live dates.
