Marmozets have released their first new music since their album ‘CO.WAR.DICE’ dropped earlier this year, and it is a sentimental number to say the least.

Titled ‘Closer To You’, it serves as a direct love letter from vocalist Becca Bottomley to guitarist, and husband, Jack Bottomley. A off-kilter, jangly, beautifully constructed ballad of sorts, it peels back the chaos that the band embody so well for pure sentiment and gooey-eyed intent. It’s the sort of song that hits the heart from all sides, the one that’s made to be sent to that special someone who is always on your mind. The fact that the band have taken the time to put together something that hits so close to home, but still making sure it doesn’t stray from the rest of their character, is testament to just how potent the feelings found within are.
Becca had this to say about the track explaining, “‘Closer To You’ started on an acoustic guitar during an improv session in the living room of Jack’s parents’ old house. 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.”
