About Marisol

Marisol has been making records for nine years and playing them for longer than that. The band came together out of a weekly residency that was only ever supposed to last a month. It ran for two years, and by the end of it the songs had been played enough times to know which ones worked in a room and which ones only worked on paper. Every record since has been made the same way: written on the road, tested live for months, then recorded quickly before anyone can overthink it. The new record was cut live to tape over eleven days. There are very few overdubs and almost no second takes — you can hear a chair move on the third song and it stayed in, because taking it out would have meant a worse vocal.
