mary in the junkyard emerge with their debut single, "Tuesday"
Ahead of their sold-out show at Brixton Windmill this evening, mary in the junkyard share their debut single, "Tuesday".
The band, consisting of guitarist and vocalist Clari Freeman-Taylor, bassist and viola player Saya Barbaglia and drummer David Addison, have bolstered their reputation with a run of performances at some of the biggest alternative festivals in the country this summer, including Green Man and most recently End of the Road.
"Tuesday" – written by the band, produced by Yuri Shibuichi and mixed and mastered by Nathan Boddy – is a solid first statement from mary in the junkyard which delivers on the promise of their live shows. Accompanied by a characterful and visually striking music video directed by the band themselves, "Tuesday" conveys chaotic feelings induced by city loneliness and climaxes in positively Lynchian fashion.
True to the band’s boundless creative vision, the "Tuesday" artwork featuring the video’s lead character – a Yeti – was hand-painted by Freeman-Taylor.
The video itself stems from her initial concept, too. Freeman-Taylor said: “I wrote "Tuesday" when I was first experiencing life in a city and was feeling very small. It’s so easy to be swept along with the bustle and noise and feel like a worker ant amidst thousands of others. I wanted to write about my yearning for chaos and realness – we all have wildness within us that we might be suppressing and we shouldn't feel like aliens because of it."
"Tuesday" is out now on AMF Records. mary in the junkyard have also announced a new headline show at Corsica Studios on 24 March 2024. Tickets are on sale this Thursday at 10am.
