The ten-track album is simultaneously empowering and heart-wrenching, offering a dichotomy that fully reflects very real life experiences. The album further cements their impressive musical prowess, offering dynamic story arcs of pursuing individuality and falling in love with oneself, while dually acknowledging romantic partnerships and the various ways they can ultimately play out.

Through the whirlwind of it all, they managed to continue creating new music, and recently put forth their sophomore effort, Unusual, on May 11th (Republic). The duo, who first released their debut album Act One in the summer of 2016, subsequently found international success thanks to Apple featuring their song вЂњDownвЂќ on a commercial for Airpods in winter of 2017, thus achieving the impressive title of вЂњMost Shazamed Band in America.вЂќ TheyвЂ™ve traveled the world over, winning over audiences with their entrancing melodies and sublime tones.

New York-by-way-of-Philly duo Marian Hill, comprised of Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd, have masterfully blended together a unique sonic palette that mixes fluid instrumentation with tactile lyricism, taking technicality and narration and coupling them together into one beautifully cohesive aural mold. вЂњI think itвЂ™s important, especially in todayвЂ™s industry when peopleвЂ™s attention spans are so short and thereвЂ™s so much competition and everything is so structured on how many millions of streams do you have - which is an amazing accomplishment - but itвЂ™s important, I think, to really take stock of where you were, and what you were doing a few years ago, and how far youвЂ™ve come, and to just be as present as you can in the moment, and to really appreciate what youвЂ™re doing, I guess, and where you want to go.вЂќ Marian HillвЂ™s Sam Gongol notes. Marian Hill have masterfully blended together a unique sonic palette that holistically separates them as an incomparable tour-de-force in the industry.
