Marina Allen announces new album Eight Pointed Star

Juliana Giraffe and Nicola Giraffe

Marina Allen has announced a new album. On June 7, she’ll release her third album, Eight Pointed Star, via Fire Records. Today she’s shared the first new song from the album, “Red Cloud,” which you can check out below via its new video directed by Eliel Ford.

“The imagery surrounding Nebraska has always been really vivid for me. My mom would tell me about how my grandma would ride a pony to school named Daisy. I guess it brought an awareness of how much the world has changed in such a short time, but it also really tripped me out as a kid,” she said in a statement. “We’d be watching The Wizard of Oz and I felt like Dorothy was my heritage. So much of your family narrative defines who you are, and so much of it isn’t true, or you hear it wrong, or you only pick up this one part, passed down by somebody else who only picked up one part. I wanted to play with that. I had all of these images swirling around me, with me at the center, and none of the sources were reliable.”

Eight Pointed Star follows Marina Allen’s 2022 album Centrifics.
