It's been a few months since London trio Mary In The Junkyard -- Clari Freeman-Taylor, Saya Barbaglia, and David Addison -- released their first new music of year. Thankfully, they're back today with another song called "Midori," a sprawling guitar-driven waltz.
"Midori" begins a bit dismal and falsely lackluster. But then there's the subtle introduction of ominous viola that settles into the song like a thick fog. The track ebbs and flows like a boat lost at sea, trying to maneuver against raging spikes and eerie calm. Freeman-Taylor's dynamic vocals weather the composition's shiftiness with wrenching lyrics: "It's hard to get hurt by you, babe/ Your words are always so true," she sings as the song rumbles to a close. "There's no way to come out of it unscathed."
Listen to "Midori" below.
