Cinematic is the word most often used to describe Minneapolis based Marah in the Mainsail. The sound is dark and mysterious at it’s core. With layers upon layers of dynamic turns, from the hopeful highs of “Fox hole” to the guttural darkness of “the Great Beyond’. Between Durry’s true grit voice, and Mercedes tender subtlety, you’ll find a vast array of narrative and stylistic possibilities. With imposing and wild jungle drums, soaring brass horns, growling bass, and shimmering spaghetti western guitars, all blanketed under a sinister vintage organ. This band has all of the tools it needs to paint an epic picture, "We set out to create something new. Something outside the industry standard. Something hard to define, but easy understand. We strive to bring the in depth experience of the cinema and literature to the modern music scene. Please join us in this grand experiment of the arts."

Since debuting their full length album "Thaumatrope" in 2015, the band has gained considerable notoriety in the Midwest, and continues to grow their exceptionally loyal fanbase across the country. They later signed with Minneapolis local Last Triumph Records, and released Thaumatrope on 12” vinyl. Poised to launch into the rest of the US and beyond with their brand new album "Bone Crown", Marah in the Mainsail continues to stand out from the pack, and bring their unique blend of musical influences to the alternative music scene

Link in the bio for the full video. Thought it was time we make a brief history of the band, going all the way back to 2010 when Durry and Wilder were only 17. After all these years, we’re finally taking it full time. But we can only make it with your help!
We’ve already blasted past our first goal on Patreon. Thank you! Deep dive explanation video of Bone Crown coming up. Patreon link in the bio.

ANNOUNCEMENT: Friends. We are so honored, nervous, and excited to announce we are going full time with Marah in the Mainsail. We’re cutting our ties and changing our lives to facilitate full time creative work and we need your help! We’ve started a patreon page where we’ll be releasing more content than we ever have before. Acoustic videos, early demos, road vlogs, and behind the scenes content as we begin to write and record a brand new record. As well as a periodic chapter release of “the Marah anthology” the full novelization of the stories from all of our past releases. Patreon is an amazing tool that helps fans support artists directly in exchange for content. You set your donation level, and a monthly cap, and then each time we post we’ll collect the donation that will go entirely to our personal living expenses. This will allow us to stay in control of our music and our direction as we move forward into the new world of the music industry. If we can collect just $5 from all of our fans each month, we would be entirely provided for and could focus 100% on touring and creating the music we love for the people we love. We can’t do it without you. Welcome to the pack. Patreon link in the bio for the full video. It's an honor to serve such a passionate fan base. Through the years you have brought us so far in this journey. Now it's time for us to take the leap, and trust you to catch us. Thank you. -Durry, Wilder, Cassandra, John, & Kian.

Marah in the Mainsail's live show has been described as a "visceral" experience, where as their albums are more cerebral in nature. Wave after wave of exploding energy on stage, all following the narrative of the music as it flows seamlessly from song to song. Every song is crafted and placed precisely where it belongs, with an aggressive, wild and mysterious stage presence, crowd interactions that break the boundaries of the stage, and innovative and eclectic instrumentation. MITM live is the only way to truly experience the full expression of the band.
