New track 'Or Else'  is a personal notebook of revelations on relationships; slow self-roasting like a lost but soulful Laura Nyro out-take. Full of surprising melodies and hooks, contemplative, and constantly startling. Not your typical singer-songwriter, Marina Allen draws from influences as wide as loft jazz, Karen Carpenter, Meredith Monk and the New York avant-garde, and modern masters like Joanna Newsom, Neko Case, and Fiona Apple.
