Los Angeles singer-songwriter Marina Allen announces new album 'Centrifics'
Los Angeles singer-songwriter Marina Allen revealed their new studio album Centrifics today.
The 10-track album will be released on September 16 via Fire Records. The first single from the album titled “Superreality” comes with a music video, which can be seen below. Allen said this about the song:
"I wrote Superreality in my living room on a broken keyboard. It's a transparent, stream-of-conscience dialogue about the innocence it takes to start over after upheaval. The song was written in the rare and delicate moment in transformation, between leaving one reality and entering another."
Allen said this about working on Centrifics, which was produced, engineered and mixed by Chris Cohen:
“I went into writing Centrifics knowing I wanted to give myself permission. I was fed up with hiding myself and a fierceness started to enter the songs, which I leaned into. The entire time I was writing, I just kept saying “yes”, that was my only rule. In a way, these songs became a bridge for me to get to the other side and so Centrifics became aspirational. I threw the stone into the ocean as far as I could and then figured out how to swim to it. Instead of trying to get it perfect, the album works as a ladder to confront and hoist myself over all the hurdles, walls, setbacks and suffering. In that way imagination became a tool I desperately clung to rather than a place to recede.”
Pre-orders for Centrifics can be made here. On September 21, Allen will perform at Los Angeles’ Lodge Room. Tickets for this performance are on sale to the general public right now.
