Marcus & Ramona / Married ep

I want to send out thanks from the bottom of my heart for your support of my debut album from 2015. Innumerable generous and talented people took part in the production of the music, the beautiful vinyl edition, and an award-winning video for "Aquarium." We make art when words alone are insufficient, and so I hope that the care and adventure undertaken with these 'firsts' reflect the deep affection and admiration I have for my collaborators, band mates, inspiring colleagues, and my gratitude for your attention and contributions to the cosmic conversation of art.

Last summer, I recorded new material with The Visitations, a name I adopted from a Jenny Erpenbeck novel about a place. I think of our musical unit as a place, and the work we make as a kind of visitation.

Marcus & Ramona / Married by Marielle Allschwang & The Visitations, released 13 June 2018 1. Marcus & Ramona 2. Married Marcus, curly-haired king, brother to Ramona, who would be beautiful. We were four and five: nine of us together kept alive by one mother.

The first set of songs from our summer '17 session at The Chair Company (Milwaukee, WI) is a two-song ep, "Marcus & Ramona/Married." Matt Wild asked me about "Marcus & Ramona" -- this is what I said. 

And if you'd like to see pictures of our place, you can follow our new instagram, too.

We have a forthcoming full length and more news on the way. I'll be checking in here. If you'd like to be added to my mailing list, let me know!

thanks for listening,

marielle
