‘The Sun’ - The latest EP from LSMarley

“Staring directly at the sun. It’s so bright, I can feel”. ‘The Sun’, the latest EP from Northern England-based musician LSMarley (Luke Samuel Marley) opens with this repeated phrase, a chanted mantra over and over, that sets the tone for the rest of the EP. This project dives into an exploration of vocal performance as well as ritual in repetition.

Leopard print carpet, rich red walls, and a large disco ball gently casting light over the smokey eye shadow patrons; welcome to Gonzo’s, a recording studio in the heart of East Village, NYC, which has recently been rebranded as an event space.
