Marmozets Release New Album 'Co.War.Dice.'
Marmozets release their third album CO.WAR.DICE – their first new album since 2018.
The long-awaited 'CO.WAR.DICE.' still possesses the ferocity of OG Marmozets with Becca Bottomley's blood-letting vocals and jagged riffs, but now it is channelled into heavyweight, melodically-leaning songs which waste no time in throwing their punches. Another track that has been premiered at recent shows, the frenetic 'Cut Back' is a prime example - an uncompromising contender for their most immediate moment to date with every sonic element an earworm - while 'Running With The Sun in Your Eyes' trades that ferocity for an addictive, early 2000s groove-metal bounce. Yet there are bigger surprises, too, such as the sparse, ethereal dream-pop of fragile acoustic 'Dandy', or the way the pulsating intensity and experimental loops of 'Keep Going Darling' drifts into the ether building into an epic album closer.
Becca says, "CO.WAR.DICE. is an album reflecting on the state of our world and a vow to ourselves to leave this world in a better place. We may never make a huge impact, but we can only try. Like any story there's a beginning, middle and end and we've chosen for a happy ending."

The roots of 'CO.WAR.DICE.' came as Becca and her husband, guitarist Jack Bottomley had become parents and had settled into a new chapter of life together. An impromptu Friday night jam at home led them to writing 'New York', the first new song they had written in what felt like forever and their official reintroduction.
From there, new horizons took on a life of their own. Becca's drummer brother Josh Macintyre helped translate their ideas into fully-fledged demos, while her other sibling, Sam Macintyre, switched from guitar to bass following the amicable departure of original member Will Bottomley. They channelled a new power from the spaciousness of the adapted line-up, taking in influences like The Cramps and Devo, and secured their return with album sessions primarily produced by Johnathan Gilmore (Biffy Clyro, Nothing But Thieves).
'CO.WAR.DICE.' is now available to stream and purchase. In addition to digital, CD and vinyl formats, the band's official store offers an exclusive coloured vinyl with a signed insert and more exclusive bundles.
Marmozets will perform a special Rough Trade East instore today to celebrate the release to kick off a full UK headline tour. They will also return to mammoth stages including Download Festival on 13th June, 2000Trees and perform as guests for Biffy Clyro at their 45,000-capacity Finsbury Park show on July 3.
