Maripool returns with a powerful statement track, after a 2 year break from releasing music. Not Today signifies the first teaser of her upcoming second EP a day that feels like nothing at all scheduled to be released on June 7th.

Hailing from Lisbon and based in London, the self-claimed ‘one-girl-band’ Maripool (aka Natacha Simões) made her breakthrough in 2021 introducing her signature DIY lofi-bedroom rock sound which received recognition from Clash, DIY, So Young etc. and earned her spots at festivals like Left of the Dial and Wide Awake. Now, 2024 sees her signing to Californian indie label Smoking Room and announcing a brand new EP!

On Not Today we witness Maripool retaining her DIY grungy intimate sound in a
blend of dreamy violins and shimmering synths. In this new creative era, Simões makes it clear that she is confident in her vulnerability and explores a more mature sound of hers. Not Today brings out a bittersweet melancholic taste, yet in a way
liberating; and explores the emotional state of feeling trapped inside an ongoing dull monotony, where nothing ever changes.

Simões explains: “It’s a song about when everything around you is bringing you
down. When the days roll into one another, nothing ever changing.” Undoubtedly, an excellent choice of track to introduce us to her upcoming new work and to sincerely capture the reality of a rather disregarded but very frightening and common feeling.

Maripool’s new EP a day that feels like nothing at all will be out on June 7th, available to stream everywhere.
