‘Friendly Fire’ Anyone who thought that the Vienna-based band had produced their most original album to date with their last album “Different” (2021) will be proven wrong: standing still is not part of the band's vocabulary. ‘Friendly Fire’ is the name of the latest longplayer with which MARINA & THE KATS are shaping contemporary swing music.
‘We're all about breaking through self-imposed boundaries, surprising people and still remaining true to ourselves,’ says the band. With their mix of modern indie sounds and classic swing, they have been delighting fans all over the world since the release of their debut album ‘Small’. The result is an exciting dynamic that appeals to those with a penchant for the nostalgic as well as those in search of new sounds. In short: a captivating mix of old and new that sounds familiar and fresh at the same time. Anyone not yet familiar with M&TK should know the following: Three of the four band members actively play drums or share a set. The concept of ‘shared drums’ has become their trademark in recent years and contributes significantly to the band's completely unique sound. The rhythmic component comes to the fore in the music, but without causing monotony. The music still captivates with melodies that don't want to leave your head, unexpected harmonic twists and imaginative realisations that make you completely forget that there are only four people on stage.
On ‘Friendly Fire’, they write songs with depth, produce and arrange them and tour throughout Europe without succumbing to any trends or fads. Lyrically, Marina also addresses unpleasant and personal topics on ‘Friendly Fire’, such as the pressure to succeed, getting older, constant judgement and fears. But don't worry, hope has not yet been lost.
