Bleep

Hailing from Seattle, Briana Marela invites you into her world of poignant melodies and lyrics that will transport you away from the vagueries of normal life to somewhere a bit more magical. Marela manages to achieve a juxtaposition on this sophomore LP that many songwriters spend whole careers chasing. Abstract, intangible ideas are communicated through the intricate and effective production while her lyricism arrives plain and clear. Through choppy loops, theatrical drum sections and faultless vocal turns, the sounds of All Around Us appear at once supernatural and wholly relatable. A very special and extremely authentic record.
