All Around Us

by Briana Marela

supported by

Jessica Fogle Haunting, beautiful, mellow, cathartic, powerful, transformative. Worth listening to from beginning to end, in a quiet peaceful setting - in the woods, on a car ride in nature (I've done both). Love. Favorite track: All Around Us.

Leo Wyatt Utterly beautiful collection of heartfelt & dreamy songs, perfect for an evening of emotional self-indulgence. Favorite track: Dani.

Ivor JOHN .... Beautiful dreamy music. I bought this after seeing her live in Hackney supporting Josh T Pearson. She was by a mile the best of the supports Favorite track: Take Care of Me.

about

Briana's lyrics are forceful, and throughout her second album, 'All Around Us', traditional song structure gives way to plainspoken declarations that pull back the record's shroud. Her first single,"Surrender" is musically delicate at first, with flickering blips and chords that float into earshot like fireflies. "Take Care of Me" is the album's brightest and most immediate song, a buoyant celebration of friendship with a skittering beat and a warm, sweet melody. And title track "All Around Us" is a stark but inspiring beauty, built on the memory of a family member of Briana's who passed away, and the sadness of not being able to say "goodbye" or "I love you" one last time. It is the balance of the abstract and the intimate that makes Briana Marela and 'All Around Us' so special.

"objects" let me feel like im laying down playing my guitar, head inflated with bliss; so much emotion in this record I will never live without it. adrianne's guitar playing / singing + the whole band's instrumentation is resplendent and captures some of the rawest emotions in my life. lacie
