The Fix

Red Leaves

Twenty-Five

This summer, Isabella Marriott releases her third studio venture, and first full-length album, of eight songs, entitled ‘three hundred days.” Ranging in genre from lush pop-rock ballads, to gritty uptempo electric folk, the album is a thematic exploration of world-wariness, and isolation, with a glimmer of practical optimism. Marriott’s vocals run the gamut from lamenting croons, to womanly, sustained declarations. Her keyboard work lays down a solid foundation of arpeggios, and a bed of harmony for her backing band to amplify and highlight. Crunchy guitars combine with imaginative and melodic bass lines, rich brass, and a supportive, classic kit backbone. The title track is a crescendo of pent-up emotion, culminating in an epic final chorus. The song “Gypsy Girl” serves as a sermon to ward off young women from disrespectful males. Perhaps the most narrative of the collection, “All of Our Dreams” tells the story of a Bushwick burglary, and the damage it leaves behind. “How Pretty You’ve Become” is a sneering, strongly-pulsed alternative rock whirlwind. A rockabilly attitude is adopted for “Little Darling,” about a baby girl with an alcoholic father, claiming “he chose the bottle over her”. “Next to Me” is a simply structured, infectious love song, in a rolling 6/8 format. The album is rounded out with “Memory is Fluid” a slow, sweeping dramatic song, where the ensemble squeezes out every last drop of heavy-laden sentiment. Simultaneously released with the album is Marriott’s “The Moment Before” music video, in grainy, raw, black and white, examining the sometimes fine line between temptation and destruction. 


Memory Is Fluid

Three Hundred Days

Marriott's EP focuses on the complexities and fragility of finding love and human connection. Clear, present vocals, piano, and a full band, complete with trombone, add a rich complexity and depth to her unique songwriting style. From cold, city streets, to unrequited love, Marriott's songs lay bare struggles we as women all face, as well as those fleeting perfect moments that we can't help but hold close.
