Setting the tone with a super cerebral and dimensional energy with vocal glitches akin to a psychedlics trip, expanding with an immersive astral synth, nuanced percussive moments, and an ancestral chanted vocal, Marginalia open Sparkler Hair with a cohesive sense of conscious subversion.
The opus expands with clarity, glistening astral melodies and a pulsating beat to take us on an affirmative trip with intentional depth. Speaking on the message, Marginalia confess that Sparkler Hair is “a story of rediscovering the joys of youth through intimate connection.”
The soundscape and extended outro are simply sublime. We deeply vibe with the empowering and universally connected nature of what Marginalia share. The song evokes a profound emotional resonance, reminding us of the purity of our inner child.
Its lyrics and melodies tap into nostalgic feelings, creating a bridge between past and present, and reigniting a sense of wonder and possibility. Philosophically, Sparkler Hair underscores the transformative power of spirituality, highlighting how connecting with ourselves can rejuvenate our core essence, and rekindle the forgotten joys of life.
The trio, comprised of Matt Legge on production, Veronica Baron sharing vocals, and Brett Cairns amplifying vocals and production, cite Braids, Blue Hawaii, Grimes, Yawning Portal, Eartheater, and The XX as sonic influences, which we can feel come though in their work, although there is no doubt that Marginalia are manifesting a universe of their own.
We have added Sparkler Hair to our New Music Spotlight playlist and our new TRIPPY playlist, whilst we immerse ourselves in the trippy music video for the song, continue to stream the wider discography of Marginalia, including Dances You Absorbed, and anticipate future releases from the talented creators.
