The Mary Onettes Announce Sworn

Leave a comment

If you’ve been reading our site the last few months, you should have been expecting the welcome news that the Mary Onettes have a new LP to offer us this November. As ever, they’re wrapping dreamy guitar notes around a sugary sweet center, using synthetic structures to provide the rhythmic pulse and atmospheric wash. For me, having been a fan since their earliest release, it’s always been the cresting of the vocals that’s won me over; they seem to embrace the shadowy elements of the genre, offering this sort of deluxe wintry vibe that’s blankets your life and record collection for years to come. Sworn is dropping Novemeber 14th via Welfare Sounds and Records.

The Mary Onettes Return with Easy Hands

The Mary Onettes have been part of this site for the better part of a decade; I even spent a good deal of this year hunting down a reasonably priced copy of their self-titled LP, so I’m happy they’re back with a fresh set of tunes. They open things up here with an infectious bounce immediately, letting the guitars drift distantly before the vocals decide they’d like to join up. Honestly, Philip’s lyrical writing isn’t too far off from Glenn Donaldson’s RPP track from last week, calling on artists to take care of themselves while being drawn to create…sadly a sentiment folks like me need to remember. Oh man, this melodic chorus too, is just something special. Stoked to have the Swedish outfit back in any form.
