brianmcallan "Big Promotion" makes me think of that last scene in Fight Club when Ed Norton and Helena Bonham Carter are kissing and the skyscrapers are blowing up and crumbling in the background. Favorite track: big promotion.

about

Originally recorded during a period of deep depression in 2018-2019, when Mari Maurice was feeling burnt out on her life and work. Seeking solace in loud heavy guitar music, Mari found this influence spilling into her writing, she knew it was intrinsically different from her other work and required its own designated name and outlet. fibril's self-titled debut was released by Already Dead on cassette in August of 2019 and is presented remastered with new art on heavyweight vinyl and digital by Debacle Records.

Shortly after recording Fibril began playing shows in 2019, and quickly developed into a duo collaboration between Mari and Matthew K. Seidel. Eventually, the project grew into a full band lineup that began gaining traction right before everything shut down in 2020. Despite these setbacks, the project has come back to life with this reissue and a follow-up with an expanded line-up on Debacle out in June.

fibril to my ears fully embraces a love for things like Deftones, Hum, and Jesus & Mary Chain, but also bedroom 90's psych-pop, blackened metal, and the telltale Mari Maurice emotional layering that always accompanies her work. It is neither a straight-faced reconstruction of those alt-rock sounds nor a smarmy takedown held at arm's length. Instead, an inspired new sound that takes from those influences and makes something deeply moving and heavy.

"Listening to this material nearly 4-5 years after its initial conception is a surreal experience," Mari says. "ultimately, I think fibril for me constantly serves as an attempt to overwhelm through sustained tension, release, and (as silly as it sounds) rock."

Never Stop Texting Me
by Claire Rousay and More Eaze

supported by 7 fans who also own “fibril”

The drums on "hands" sound ecstatic; it's so fun to listen to them kick in. This is an emotionally-blissful pop album that widens one's perception of what can be done within such a format. I felt my pineal gland vibrate, (definitely kind of a "sigh,") and tripped out— I thought about it for hours. How the hell does mind correlate with matter?? Because I think it doesn't even.
