Starting out in 2000 as a passionate, yet na\u00efve rock band from the Swedish town of J\u00f6nk\u00f6ping, The Mary Onettes have been on a long journey, with a few downhill slopes and a lot of brick walls, but the band have managed to stay together because of their love for music and each other. Although development is crucial for a band one thing has remained the same; the songs. The band revolves around Philip Ekstr\u00f6m\u2019s songwriting and although some songs have been stripped down, rebuilt or even thrown away they have kept coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Mary Onettes return with a 2 track single containing the lead single Easy Hands<\/em> along with the soothing and thoughtful Pearl Machine<\/em>. These songs return to the dreamy, overcast pop that we\u2019ve come to love from The Mary Onettes while being framed around a deep lyrical storyline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is what Ekstr\u00f6m says about Easy Hands<\/em>: “After quite a long time being artistically a bit unsatisfied ‘Easy Hands’ came to life when I realized that making art is really who I am. I can\u2019t escape from it. But In order to keep making art I need to be nice to myself. That\u2019s the core of the lyrics behind ‘Easy Hands'”<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen to both tracks via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
