About
On ‘miu’, a song from ‘Pripyat’, Marina Herlop’s first record with PAN released this May, the audience is introduced to this classically trained musician’s intricate trickery, much inspired by Carnatic music of Southern India. The young Catalan artist has been making music this way since 2016 - but, now, with an expanded set of tools which allow her to further invite the listener into her otherworldly sonic landscape.

"Marina Herlop’s music is driven by her remarkable voice: She is capable of both hopscotching through operatic upper registers and settling into a dreamily dulcet tone, often within the same song. The Catalan experimental musician explored relatively traditional classical styles on her first two albums, 2016’s Nanook and 2018’s Babasha, whose songs for voice and piano, with occasional electronic accents, reflected her conservatory training. Pripyat, Herlop’s third album and first for cult label PAN, takes a surprising left turn. Introducing more pronounced vocal manipulation, drum patterns, and further digital embellishments, Pripyat is her most multidimensional and fascinating work to date, stretching the human voice in seemingly infinite directions." - Pitchfork
