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

Now you’ve measured out your life,
would death by water suffice?
Oh, the floors of silent seas.

If you won’t miss this, neither will I,
But in one minute their lies time,
Oh, a time for you and a time for me.

Here I am,
All the mornings when I’m lost in an empty space, feeling through the air with my fingers,
Here I am,
Would you really wanna come this far to stay, are you gathering speed are you gathering speed,
All I am,
Were you looking for a change of weather, we were all praying for you to come home,
Here I am,
The river runs red now you’ve gone,
The river runs red now you’ve gone.

It’s the worst time of year
It’s the worst time of year
We must prepare
With all the noise in our ears

Here I am,
All the mornings when I’m lost in an empty space, feeling through the air with my fingers,
Here I am,
Would you really wanna come this far to stay, are you gathering speed are you gathering speed,
All I am,
Were you looking for a change of weather, we were all praying for you to come home,
Here I am,
The river runs red now you’ve gone,
The river runs red now you’ve gone.
