Lloyd’s wound-up, big-bass production on the sultry take a number makes for a compelling contrast against upcoming star Dounia and Gongol’s satin vocals. “It’s nice to have this time to experiment and write things we wouldn’t have necessarily written.” “We’re not taking ourselves so seriously at the moment,” Gongol says. Including a rare feature from NYC-based crooner Dounia, these songs are a playground of sounds that finds the duo letting loose. You can expect a new collection of songs that pulls from the spare, woozy landscapes of their earlier works with an added layer polish. This era will be a reinvigorated take on what you think you know about “Marian Hill”.

The record saw the duo solidify their position as a singular voice in modern pop and was paired with a series of ten one minute visual episodes invoking the work of filmmakers Roy Andersson and Peter Campus while conjuring a surreal world parallel to ours where the mundane becomes uncanny.įast forward to now, and Marian Hill are ready to step into their next chapter with new label partner Platoon. Marian Hill showed how prolific they can when they returned with their sophomore record only a year later titled Unusual (June 2018), 10 taut tracks including lead single Subtle Thing that garnered various tastemaker press approvals from the likes of PAPER Magazine, Billboard & Refinery 29 to name but a few. “That sound was everywhere, for a couple months,” Lloyd says.
They rapidly shot a music video, played Fallon, and performed at Grammy parties. “It happened so quickly we were constantly playing catch-up,” Gongol says. Apple featured the album’s single, “Down,” in an AirPods commercial nearly a year after Act 1’s release, boosting the infectious single to #21 on the Billboard 100, and pushing Marian Hill through the mainstream bubble. “But it also didn’t give me time to figure out my performance, to become confident.”Īct One, their debut record, arrived in 2016 and brought the spotlight of virality onto the duo again. “One of the most amazing things about being discovered on the internet is you don’t have to tough it out at bars and shows, it kind of happens over night,” Gongol says. They also strayed a bit out of the spare, electronic “Marian Hill” sound they’d established, with synth ballad Deep, and Got It, a bold, dance track.Īt this point, Lloyd and Gongol were beginning to feel the strains of their rapid success with Marian Hill, a project they originally created for fun and hadn’t thought much about regarding its identity and how it would be perceived by outsiders. The seven-track project featured the smokey, trap-jazz hit One Time, which went viral on Vine and rewarded Lloyd and Gongol with a nice bump in popularity. In 2013, they released their debut EP, Play, and two years later followed it with Sway, an expanded collection of their songs, this time officially released through Photo Finish and Republic Records. After Lloyd sent the track to nearly 60 different music blogs, the single got picked up, and started climbing the charts. Lloyd began experimenting with electronic and hip-hop production, and in college, they wrote 2013’s Whiskey stumbling upon their ostensibly first “Marian Hill”-sounding song. Throughout their teenage years, they constantly shared songs they’d written with each other. Growing up in Havertown, Pennsylvania, Lloyd and Gongol became friends during an eighth grade production of The Music Man, the musical from which they took their name. Now, with newfound energy, Lloyd and Gongol are challenging their fans, and themselves, on what Marian Hill can sound like.
Previous viral singles Down and One Time, inadvertently boxed the duo inside their signature style - minimalistic soundscapes embellished with hi-hats and glossy glitches. NYC producer Jeremy Lloyd and vocalist Samantha Gongol are eager to get back into the thick of it, starting with their freewheeling new project, Was It Not, expected early in 2020. If Marian Hill’s first three projects were establishing the electronic-pop duo’s music identity, their next era is deconstruction, and rebirth.
