Marsden & Richardson - 'Outsider'

Band of Skulls’ Marsden & Richardson introduce themselves with stunning debut single ‘Outsider’. 

After making a name for themselves as two thirds of the British rock band, the duo are now focusing themselves in a more atmospheric direction. With warm, but yet cinematic tones, they take you on a heartfelt journey while pulling you in with emotionally-fueled vocals. A true introduction to their new sound. 

Speaking about the new offering, they said, “Outsider is a song about strength, vulnerability and identity. It’s about losing yourself and finding yourself anew, and that self being stronger than you imagined. It was inspired by the many great women artists who have consistently gone against the grain to follow their passion.”

“This is the song that evolved the most in the recording process for The Marsden & Richardson album. It began as a raw guitar and vocal demo and quickly changed into a brooding and epic widescreen piece, layered with drums and a pulsating baseline. The vocal was captured on Emma’s first take and felt so natural it had to be kept.  Russell added fender Rhodes which together with Tom Edwards’ soaring string arrangement added to the truly filmic quality of this song.”
