Tea Time
Virginia Marcs
Local singer-songwriter Virginia Marcs’ recent (and first) record release, “Climbing
the Wall,” is a collection of alternative art rock songs that will break your heart.
With the help of producer Katie Buchanan, the seven tracks touch on heartbreak,
misogyny and political commentary.
Her music features a layering of organic acoustic and electric guitars, subtle driving
bass and percussion, within an ethereal, spacious web of synthetic effects. Her
voice, much like Ani DiFranco and Janis Joplin, is a contradiction of soft and snarling,
taking you on an emotional journey with each raw song.
This record was crowdfunded on Kickstarter in May 2017 and was immediately
recorded over the summer at Buchanan’s home studio. You can find her record on
all streaming services and in all digital media stores like iTunes.
