Ahead of their shows with Biffy Clyro and at 2000trees, Marmozets have shared a new single, Closer To You.
It’s the first single they’ve dropped since their new album Co.War.Dice arrived at the end of May and serves as a love letter from vocalist Becca Bottiomley to bandmate and husband Jack.
“Closer To You started on an acoustic guitar during an improv session in the living room of Jack’s parents’ old house,” Becca says. “The chorus came out of nowhere, but looking back, it clearly came from a very real place. Early on in my relationship with Jack, I wanted something so deep – more than I felt capable of offering, accepting, or even believing was possible. I wanted true love.
“This song has been on a massive journey, growing and evolving at the exact same time I was doing the inner work on myself. Because I’ve lived with it for so long, releasing it now feels like letting it fly away; it almost feels separate from me now. Maybe you’ll hear that perspective in the music, but I’m okay with letting it just exist.
“Sitting here on the couch today, I feel the most secure and loved I have ever felt in my life. I’ve made it to the other side of what I used to crave so desperately. No matter where this song goes from here, I’m incredibly proud of that growth.”
