New Music Review - ‘Caffeine High’ by Marmalade
Caffeine High was released by Marmalade on the 2nd August, ahead of their debut EP. Cover artwork created by Bethanny Britten, provided by Marmalade.
Did you pay your $4.50 for your Caffeine High today? The coffee beans (or shall I say koffiebonen?), are roasting hot with this delightfully quirky, therapeutic drop from well-respected Auckland duo, Marmalade.
A precursor to what is to come with their forthcoming, debut EP that is due to be in flight within the not-so-distant future, Caffeine High dedicates a space in time to where working in a coffee shop meant more than just being a barista for Jemilah, who is one half of Marmalade.
Fair warning: Caffeine High may teach you how to become an untrained therapist, unintentional eavesdropper or at the very least, give you an insight into what it is like to be one, or all of these things.
Addictively fun, Caffeine High is an enticing piece of work that will make you take your earbuds out to hear the local coffee shop gossip (after you’ve listened to Caffeine High at least 50 times, of course). You may be riddled with stories of heartbreak, you may see two people falling in love, or you just may hear something that’ll make you laugh so much that you spit your coffee everywhere.
As a nation of coffee snobs, I feel as though Caffeine High will be appreciated and well-received. That’s a big win.
Both Jemilah and Koen have their chance to show off their soothing talents in the journey of Caffeine High, which highlights their differences, but also brings them together to create the best brew imaginable.
Marmalade are no strangers at brightening up their audiences’ lives - whether that be with the pristine tracks they drop or their immaculate endurance to grace the stage with their presence whenever possible.
Caffeine High is one small step in the right direction for Marmalade.
