Marine Store Dealer are a four-piece formed in London, but who hail from Nottingham and Istanbul. Named after songwriter Gemma Upton’s ancestral family trade (she had both a Marine Store Dealer and a Dealer of Marine Stores in her family), she now deals in blistering guitars and urgent, raucous songs that blend nods to 70s punk, 80s romantics and 90s indie with a fresh take on cinematic dark pop, lyrically preoccupied with the human condition.
Their debut self titled album will be released this year, 2020.
lyrics
I'm watching you, moments through time,
Nothing stays the same,
and I was a passing sight, in a space in time,
In a place in your life.
You'll hide, you're high,
As long as you can try, as long as you can try,
You'll hide, you're high,
As long as you can try, as long as you can try.
The smoke it rises high,
The vacant souls come alive,
We break the deal to find,
We're on the outside.
Following the tracks, cold, impossible,
Nothing is everything now,
I stayed awake for weeks, until the winter freeze,
Nothing is everything.
You'll hide, you're high,
As long as you can try, as long as you can try,
You'll hide, you're high,
As long as you can try, as long as you can try.
The smoke it rises high,
The vacant souls come alive,
We break the deal to find,
We're on the outside.
