Mary in the Junkyard announce debut album, share “Crash Landing”

London band Mary in the Junkyard, who you may have seen opening for Wet Leg last year, have announced their debut album, Role Model Hermit, which will be out July 3 via AMF Records. They made it with producer producer Oli Bayston (Kelly Lee Owens, Alexis Taylor).

The first single is “Crash Landing,” which singer-guitarist Clari-Freeman Taylor says is “about fear and how men often rely on keeping their emotions secret, and how you have to crack them open. To be the only one that’s seeing one side of someone, it’s trapping.” It’s a slow-building track with a wonderful crescendo, and there’s also a terrific video shot on film along the white-cliffed beaches of Dover. Watch that below.

Mary in the Junkyard will celebrate their debut with a string of in-store appearances in the UK and those are listed below.
