Desire I Want to Turn Into to You

I especially love how each song seems to bleed into the next, carrying leitmotifs across tracks in surprising and delightful ways. Mood board for this album: Kate Bush but if she raved, early 2000's alt. cyberpunk anime openings, anguished love confessions shouted over an active volcano, slip dresses and Party City angel wings.

A reimagining of the first woman expelled from the Garden of Eden. Marmery follows the trend of applying artistic license to ancient myths alongside provocative character development. While the dialogue can teeter between extreme archaism and being unrealistically modern this is an excellent read for any fan of Historical Fiction.
