"This song is pretty straightforward. Its about staying in the moment. It's about being with someone or in a situation where nothing matters but what's happening right in front of you and you're able to just take it all in. Those moments, are when i think people can experience joy, and they can be hard to come by," explains principal songwriter and singer Andrew Marr. "My brain is always spinning about things that have happened, what's happening elsewhere at that moment, or whats going to happen."
The New Life EP finds Marr blending contemporary indie pop with layers of 80's new wave & dream pop bringing to mind comparisons to Depeche Mode,
New Order & the Cure.
"I started forming the ideas for these songs early in 2014 when I wanted to take my songwriting and production in a different direction and do something I've never done before," explains Marr, "Recording in my home studio, using synths, drum machines and samples for the first time, I was opened up a world that helped me develop new and darker sonic textures."
Earlier this summer the band released the single "God Will Never Come For Us" which will also appear on the New Life EP. Steam via Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/newlifenyc/godwillnevercomeforus/s-n47n9
Ski Lodge was formed in 2011 by Andrew Marr. The band has previously released an eponymously titled-EP and the full length album Big Heart. They have received acclaim from Pitchfork, Interview Magazine, KCRW, Pigeons and Planes and many more.
"I don't really know if, as a whole, its headed in any specific direction musically," says Marr about New Life. "I'm ok with that right now."
