Track of the Day | Marsicans – Little Things

Marsicans have released their new single ‘Little Things’.

Out now via LAB Records, the single follows the band’s recent stadium slot supporting Kaiser Chiefs and The Vaccines at Elland Road.

Speaking of the single, bassist/vocalist Rob Brander said: “‘Little Things’ is a song about the little things in life that keep you going. It began in rehearsal when James played us a frenetic guitar riff, accompanied by a lyric about being ‘lost in the bread aisle’. We didn’t worry too much about structure, letting the energy in the room dictate where we should take the song next. We ended up with lots of twists and turns – and quite a lot of grit in places.

The lyrics were finished over a cup of tea at (drummer) Cale’s, after an enjoyable writing process which featured lists of things that made us all happy. There were some gems that never made the cut, like a line about dropping your toast and it landing butter-side up. As always, our producer Mickey Dale helped us get the best out of the tune in the studio, on a healthy diet of poppadoms, and our friend Fern (Producer/mixer Fernando Lodeiro) delivered a mix that had us all totally buzzing.”

We’re big fans of Marsicans at LMLL and ‘Little Things’ continues to champion exactly why.

Showcasing a rockier edge to their usual sound, ‘Little Things’ is an instantly addictive release. Breaks in sound give space for frontman James Newbigging’s vocals to breathe, with all too relatable lyrics that only Marsicans could make work. After all, who else can turn lyrics about a bread aisle into the opening line of an uplifting summer-set single?
