Singer-songwriter Anya Marina shares her new video, “Girl Shit,” via Good Rope Records. Vintage Wurlitzer keyboard and a distorted drum loop are the sole accompaniment to Marina’s avenging angel vocals on the devastating new track about a woman building a powerful inner life.
“’Girl Shit’ touches on the amazing power of women—and anyone who has gone through betrayal or heartbreak—to grow stronger in spite of these things,” shares Marina. “This song speaks to the incredible power, mystique and strength of women. ‘Girl Shit’ is about growing up and—thanks to a tight-knit crew of girlfriends—growing strong.”
Anya Marina also announces her new album Asteroid, arriving via Good Rope Records on October 25th. With Asteroid, Marina feels comfortable in her own skin at last, excited to begin again. “Something about these songs feels young,” she says. “I’m finally learning how to take care of myself, how to say no to certain things, how to be more involved in the recording process. I wanted to make the album of my life. And I’ve done that, hands down.”
Asteroid is Anya Marina’s her most assured work yet. Almost two decades into a distinctive career encompassing songs featured in Twilight: New Moon, Gossip Girl, and Grey’s Anatomy, an award-winning web series (Anya Marina: Indie-pendent Woman), seven albums, three EPs, and extensive touring with artists ranging from Jason Mraz to Spoon to superstar standup Nikki Glaser, the riveting performer / creative powerhouse is looking back, taking stock in song. Marina calls Asteroid “a coming-of-age story about a late bloomer. This record is about growing up, becoming fully who I am, and celebrating it.”
Ahead of the Asteroid’s October release, Marina is supporting comedian Nikki Glaser on her sold-out Alive and Unwell Tour. For a current list of dates, please visit www.anyamarina.com/tour.
