mary in the junkyard reach for their dreams with new single, ‘this is my california’

mary in the junkyard have returned with a new track, ‘this is my california’.

The new single, produced by Craig Silvey (Sam Fender, Wunderhorse), follows the release of their debut EP ‘This Old House’ earlier this year via AMF Records.

Lead vocalist Clari Freeman-Taylor says of the track: “‘this is my california’ is a nostalgic song about finding my own dreams. Seeing ‘California’ through films and tv always felt like a paradise or idea of success that didn’t really resonate with me.

“Also in the song there’s a lot of lyrics about “Something lifting you out” – growing up me and my friends would climb everything, roofs and trees, maybe to feel like we were escaping the place we were in or feel a kind of wonder of how small it was from high up.”

The band will embark on a UK tour with Sports Team this month, and will play their largest UK headline show to date at London’s Fabric in February.
