Marion Belle (Fatal Jamz) shares debut single, “Soundcheck,”

Regarding the song, Belle stated: “The song refers to specific encounters I experienced during the Weyes Blood tour but also to moments I’ve experienced over the years as a performer where music has brought me into confrontation with my past. Bram was a producer I’ve known about for a long time and then was connected to through Terrible Records. At his studio in Highland Park we bonded immediately and wrote the song in a day over an acoustic guitar riff. It’s the first of much more from Marion Belle to come.”

Mute Choir – Listen to “Shadowboxing”

““Shadowboxing” was inspired by a point of renewal; when you’re starting fresh but can’t escape the tremendous pressure of uncertainty. When the future is wide open, it can be easy to overthink your present decisions in the face of who you might become. You can never know for sure if life will turn out the way you hope when you go with your gut instinct.
