mary in the junkyard – drains
mary in the junkyard —the London-based band of Clari Freeman-Taylor (vocals, guitar), Saya Barbaglia (bass, viola), and David Addison (drums)— release the new single/video “drains.” “drains” is a driving track that sees the band exploring their heavier side and embracing a sense of propulsion. Freeman-Taylor digs into the wilder side of her range, while Barbaglia and Addison step out into something more primal. Addison concludes the song with a flurry of drum fills that put an emphatic full stop to the chaos. “I am curious about the bowels of the city,” comments Freeman-Taylor. “We don’t see what’s below but there are many pipes and caves, and my friend once said, ‘If you bury yourself, i will dig you out again.’ I wanted to immortalize it because it made me feel so warm.”
Directed by Edie Lawrence and featuring live-action puppetry, the “drains” video presents a new look for mary in the junkyard.
mary in the junkyard is currently supporting Wet Leg throughout the UK. The two groups will reconvene for a lengthy fall North American tour, marking mary in the junkyard’s second run of US shows in 2025.
