“The car keeps driving but my soul is far behind
Buckle up baby, we will make it out alright”
Marika Christine—who also plays with Spacemoth, Secret Secret, and Medscool—has a new album coming out this spring, and the first single is a lovely little thing. Made up of walking piano, simple strumming, and gorgeous harmonies, “Buckle Up Baby” says goodbye to yesterday’s heartache in vintage technicolor, and looks to the future with a mantra of a chorus that knows tomorrow will be better. The upcoming album Soft Like an Apricot is due out on Seattle’s Ghost Mountain Records in early May.
