Hana Maru Are Launching Their Debut LP At Grace Darling Hotel

Get down to Grace Darling Hotel on 11 June and catch Melbourne chamber-pop quintet Hana Maru at the launch party for their self-titled debut album.

The video for the first single, Whole Heart, dropped in May — it's a song that shows a young band, steeped in folk stylings, who have reached deep into the folk-dance genre to grasp powerful pop undercurrents.

It's a mixture that has coalesced to form an album that spans the gamut from club-ready dance to reflective piano ballads with boasts rich vocals, lush orchestral strings and a driving rhythm section.
