Marina Allen, shares a new single, “Deep Fake,” from her upcoming third studio album, Eight Pointed Star, out June 7th via Fire Records. Following the album’s release, Allen will play record release shows in Los Angeles, New York City and London before supporting Ben Howard for a run of European dates.

Marina Allen’s forthcoming album Eight Pointed Star contains fragments and stories from her past, storylines jettison and dance throughout. The collection of songs is described as a collection of alternative folk and Americana that holds a curiosity as open to you as you are to them. It’s an album about discovery, searching with the eight points of a compass; about hope, gazing at the emanations within the eight points of a North Star; and about ancestry, being comforted by the eight-pointed stitching patterns used in quilt-making. Full of little, radical acts, coming from a place of truth, Eight Pointed Star favors a type of soul-searching that doesn’t dwell in complications, and is open to answers.

You can hear contentment radiating from the music, with Chris Cohen’s (Weyes Blood, Le Ren) production offering a full-band affair. The instrumentation is rich and bursting with brightness, as slide guitar drifts over acoustic thrums.
