“Marinho pens a beautifully poetic web of intimate upheaval… Graceful in her introspection and colorful in her candor… with stirring confidence and humble charm.” – ‘Ghost Notes’ video and premiere on Atwood Magazine
Recorded at Black Sheep Studios and mastered by Philip Shaw Bova (Father John Misty, Marlon Williams, Feist, Andy Shauf), ~ is constructed from the simplicity of the roots of American folk music, with lush, cinematic tinges. It’s first single, ‘Ghost Notes’ made a splash on major Portuguese radio stations as well as Spotify and Apple Music playlists such as ‘Fresh Finds: Six Strings’ and ‘New Music Friday’, ‘Onda Indie’ and ‘Breaking Alternative’, respectively. The momentum continued to build with the release of “Window Pain,” which premiered on VICE.
Marinho, moniker of Filipa Marinho, was born in Lisbon and raised in front of the TV. This meant plenty of early exposure to Cartoon Network and mid-90’s movies, as well as a growing intimacy with Hollywood’s views on love, relationships and overall human nature.
Now, as a young adult, she tries to come to terms with what lies between overly romanticized expectations and real non-sitcom life. Resolutions come in the form of indie folk songs which she has written and assembled over the years. These same songs are collected in this debut album ~ (read ‘tilde’).
