EP Focus: Marilla Homes

EP title? Angel Song

How many releases do you have now?
Three. Inner Whirl (2011) and Marilla Homes & The Housemen released Settler’s Wife this week too!

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making?
This is a massively healing album for me. I stopped singing ENTIRELY in 2010 after I got PTSD from workplace bullying working in opera. And here I am vocally naked, singing solo a cappella originals!

What’s your favourite song on it?
Muscat Woman. I wrote it with Ushonah Hutchings, sitting around a fire in Brunswick, drinking muscat and eating toasted camembert.

We’ll like this EP if we like...
Beautiful vocal music in a natural acoustic setting. It was recorded live in a country church so the reverb is massive. Solo a cappella originals, with soaring improvs and heart-melting lyrics.

When and where is your launch/next gig?
Album launch is at the Boite World Music Cafe (North Fitzroy) at 8pm on 5 Jul.
