With the reveal of new song ‘Alphabet Block’, MARNIE announced details of Strange Words And Weird Wars, the follow-up to debut release Crystal World.

Marnie crafted her music as part of the mighty Ladytron in her formative years. But her subsequent solo career has demonstrated that she’s more than capable of producing good tunes outside of the iconic 4-some.

Strange Words And Weird Warsis apparently more of a step into pop territory with a bit of shoegaze thrown in for good measure. The official stance on the album is “soul crushing synths are wonderfully accented by hook-laden choruses as Marnie boldly explores up-tempo electro dream-pop”.
