Starting out in 2000 as a passionate, yet naïve rock band from a the Swedish town of Jönköping, the Mary Onettes have been on a long journey containing a few downhill slopes and a lot of brick walls, but the band have managed to stay together because of their love for music and each other. Although development is crucial for a band one thing has remained the same, the songs. The band revolves around Philip Ekström’s songwriting and although some songs have been stripped down, rebuilt or even thrown away they have kept coming. The Mary Onettes return with an LP containing the celebrated single ‘Cola Falls’ along with the b-side ‘Wait Out A Ghost’ and last years single “What I Feel In Some Places”. These songs return the dreamy, overcast pop that we’ve come to love from The Mary Onettes while being framed around a simple, lyrical storyline. Ekström says that ‘Cola Falls’ conjures the “high, relentless sound of running water” bubbling forth from a waterfall in his hometown - a waterfall that, as a kid, he imagined flowing with soda.
