ââ¦unmistakably âhard popâ in a sultry 60s modeâ¦this is smart and sassy and set for a wider audienceâ New Noise

âCombines the lost style of Bjork with the uplifting nature of Carole King against a backdrop of tingling and uplifting pop.â Losing Today

Drawing inspiration from classic singer songwriters such as Carole King and John Martyn, through to the modern atmospheric soundscapes of Fiona Apple & Beth Orton, Marsha effortlessly creates songs packed with deep emotion but with a flickering delicacy and vulnerability. 2007 has been a hugely successful year, seeing the release of three stunning new singles including the album title track Sentient Stardust. The release of the single at the start of the year lead to a demand for a regional BBC radio tour and saw Marsha perform exclusive acoustic sets at the likes of BBC Manchester and BBC Wales, plus many more. âSentient Stardustâ, âMy Life My Ownâ and âStill Wrongâ all received daytime BBC and commercial radio airplay. The new album is coated with sweet simplicity but also contains some darker more emotional tracks that show Marshaâs emotional and musical range blossoming since her arrival on the music scene with her debut album Watershed. Marsha Swanson is without doubt one of the brightest new artists emerging in the UK at the moment and a plethora of BBC radio plays have seen Marsha break out of the underground scene into the national consciousness. Influential music critics have joined the list of fans and awards for 'Best Folk Artist' and 'Best Album' at this years âGlasswerkâ New Music Awards in October along with an acoustic performance at the awards only act as confirmation that Marsha Swanson is ready to break into the mainstream. A truly unique and delicate artist. www.marshaswanson.co.uk www.myspace.com/marshaswanson
