Marina Allen - Centrifics

"A songwriter of rare skill and intensity." — Clash

LA-based musician Marina Allen's spectacular debut proper, and follow-up to last years' acclaimed 18 minute mini-opus, Candlepower.

Centrifics is a joyful collection of observations and questions about the self, the world, and how they interact. Awe-inspiring reflections accompany mesmerizing melodies while Allen's extraordinary range and depth of singing showcases a wide array of influences from Karen Carpenter to Karen Dalton, from Joanna Newsom to Fiona Apple, from Cate Le Bon to Waxahatchee, via Meredith Monk and the New York avant-garde.

Produced, engineered and mixed by Chris Cohen. Co-engineered by Jonny Kosmo.
