Their answers have been edited for clarity. Lloyd and Gongol recently chatted with me (from our respective quarantines) about the new EP, being an independent artist in the age of coronavirus, and a musicianвЂ™s purpose in these trying times.

Longtime collaborator, sax master, and school friend Steve Davit is back for the high of the collection, вЂњEat U AliveвЂќ and new-to-the-scene songstress Dounia declares their darker sides on вЂњTake a Number.вЂќВ вЂњNo One KnowsвЂќ is the throwback indie-emo track made for anyone craving the days of The xxвЂ™s Tumblr-ruling era. Their newest release, Was It Not,В delivers on this musical composure. That has led to a commercial appeal that has skyrocketed the group onto every curated playlist from Spotify and to your local Target shelf. It makes sense Marian HillвЂ™s big break came from a 2017 AirPods commercial that used their song вЂњDown.вЂќ Their sound could be labeled вЂњdesigned by Apple in California.вЂќ It is careful but innovative-even chic. They create a well-balanced tincture of electro-pop, old school jazz, and R&B that feels rebellious but controlled. вЂњIt was very much, вЂWhat are cool word combinations?вЂќВ ItвЂ™d be hard to know, with their vibey status that they both acted in theВ musical in high schoolВ together. вЂњWe werenвЂ™t like, вЂYes! The themes of The Music ManВ resonate deeply with the type of music we want to make,вЂќ says Lloyd. When Gongol and Jeremy Lloyd, the other half of the band, chose Marian Hill it was more indicative of their sound-personal influences collaged to evoke universal and undeniable hipness-than the claiming of an influence. The bandвЂ™s name is actually a mashup of two characters from the corny play The Music Man. ItвЂ™s become the running joke of the tour: The lead singer of Marian Hill isnвЂ™t named Marian Hill. Samantha Gongol doesnвЂ™t mind the mistake.
