Heavy guitars and floating drum grooves, dark lyrics and anthemic melodies, Pop hooklines and cineastic parts. Me + Marie bring all those things together effortlessy. “Another place to go”, the first single released from their new Album “Double Purpose” (17.08.18), is an extraordinary combination of Grunge-Pop and Italo-Western. Ennio Morricone meets Slash. Pathos meets coolness.
Part of the duo art is the art of building bridges. Bridges between the epicentre and the periphery, between drafts and anthems, between ecstasy and romance, between agreeing and disagreeing. “Double Purpose” tells stories about the unavoidable connection between all things. One thing could not exist without the other. Without reflectiveness, there's no chaos, without the desire to destroy, there is no romance. Without great arguments, there are no passionate nights, and without fantasy, there would be no real world with all its boredoms and ecstasy.
