Mamalarky Combine Frustration and Playfulness on New Single “Fury,” Accompanying Music Video

The L.A.-based band Mamalarky, recently signed to the Brooklyn indie label Fire Talk, are starting off 2020 with a new single, a new music video and a new artistic direction.

The single in question, “Fury,” is a definite departure from the band’s formerly keyboard-heavy sound. Guitars, distortion and fuzzy vocals indicate that the band might be heading towards a more energetic, frenetic sound.

The frontwoman of Mamalarky, Livvy Bennett, has had experience in high-energy bands, playing with the dynamic indie-grunge band Cherry Glazerr for a period.

With the band’s signing to Fire Talk this past December, Mamalarky join an ambitious slate of emerging musicians, alongside the thrashy Weeping Icon, indie-minimalists Patio and surf-rocky Dehd.

But Mamalarky felt the new direction was instinctual, with Bennett barely struggling to pen “Fury”: ”’Fury’, to me, is about feeling overdriven and overworked, and the humor in finding your way as a young adult,” said Bennett in a statement. “It was probably the fastest I ever wrote a song and it instantly felt very right playing it as a group.”
