Watch: Cousin Marnie – You've Been Fooling Me Baby
Fresh out of Bat For Lashes and Everything Everything producer David Kosten’s studio comes talented young vocalist Cousin Marnie.
The London artist’s intuitive brand of gothic pop will endear itself to fans of Natasha Khan in particular, with Marnie dripping her silvery purr over spiked bass thumps and sugary, droning synth sounds on most recent cut ‘You’ve Been Fooling Me Baby’. A throbbing, icily delivered overhaul of American trad-folk group, The Carter Family’s obscure gem of the same name, ‘You’ve Been Fooling Me Baby’ offers a thrilling window into the diligent newcomer’s effervescent sonic palette.
Expect fresh material before the year is out, until then, get acquainted with more of Marnie’s deep southern covers over on SoundCloud.
