THE MARY ONETTES - US TOUR STARTS + NEW TRACK!
The Mary Onettes don’t rush, they take things as they come. But after two cancelled US tours in a row they’re gonna make it happens this time. And to celebrate this they're giving away a new, free track. Feel free to post it!
"Sharkbrains (Skewed Studio Takeout)" is a little piece of music that was made one evening in the studio, longing for endless american highways .. It’s a US tour exclusive and will never be officially released. So get it while it’s still floating around in cyber space!

The first and last time The Mary Onettes did a full US was in 2008. In 2010 they were forced to cancel because of the volcano eruption of Ejafjatlajökul and in 2014 the had to cancel because of troubles with visas. They did however play SXSW in last year. The General Manager of SXSW, James Minor said this about their appearance:
-The Mary Onettes are one of my all time favorites .. and their appearance on SXSW is a huge personal victory for me .. and Sweden.
- Touring is something that doesn’t happen often for us. But we feel we want to give the people that waited for us a chance to finally see us. It might take forever till next time, says The Mary Onettes frontman Philip Ekström.
The Mary Onettes has released four albums. The latest, ”Portico:” came out last year. Here’s what the press wrote about their recent material:
"...frontman Philip Ekstrom's voice strains to Robert Smith-esque levels of yearning, crashing again and again into the cresting chorus like the prow of a motorboat." PITCHFORK "Hit The Waves is definitely one of my most-anticipated first-quarter 2013 releases" STEREOGUM
"..glistening synths, crashing drums and vocal sighs suggesting epic sadness." THE GUARDIAN
"...Perfect for yachting on a partly cloudy day in order to execute a burial at sea." MTV IGGY
"It’s everything we’ve come to love from the Swedish quartet, served in a fizzy, melodic package."
UNDER THE RADAR
"Philip Ekström's vocals have never failed to beautifully whisk you along in every song he has ever sung for the band. And in this new single he does it all again." PREFIX MAG
