The Mary Onettes - Cola Falls EP Vinyl

Since forming in the Swedish town of Jönköping in 2000, The Mary Onettes have become low-key cult heroes, long responsible for helping bring attention to Sweden's enduring brand of sophisticated pop music. Over the course of four albums and several singles, Philip Ekström and band members Henrik, Simon and Petter have eschewed trends and continued making music that feels honest to them. The band revolves around Ekström’s songwriting — a decidedly more atmospheric take on the typically optimistic Scandinavian fare — rich with drama and melancholy. 

After several albums on Stockholm’s esteemed Labrador label, the band joined Cascine to release singles 'Ruins' (featuring the vocals of Maria Usbeck) and 2016’s 'Juna'. The Mary Onettes now return with two-tracker 'Cola Falls'. Along with b-side 'Wait Out A Ghost', the new material returns to the dreamy, overcast pop that we’ve come to love from The Mary Onettes while being framed around a simple, lyrical storyline. Ekström says that 'Cola Falls' conjures the “high, relentless sound of running water” bubbling forth from a waterfall in his hometown — a waterfall that, as a kid, he imagined flowing with soda.
