MARINA ALLEN – EIGHT POINTED STAR

A new Marina Allen album comes like the first day of Spring. The sky has blued; a clear air descends.

Through the green fuse drives a flower. Across two introductory records, the Los Angeles-based

singer-songwriter has ripened a rare harvest, but her third studio album is an arrival home. Taking

fragments and stories from Marina’s past, Eight-Pointed Star deftly weaves together a new future, in

what feels for all the world like a glittering, clear-eyed modern classic of alternative folk and

Americana.
