Song of the Day: Marion – Miyako Hideaway

Posted on
27 Sep 2011

I know I’ve written about UK act Marion before, but the news that they, like all other Britpop contemporaries, have decided to reform and potentially cash in on an aging fan base is still an exciting one. According to reliable music publication NME, Jaime Harding, Phil Cunningham, Anthony Grantham and Julian Phillips are reforming and will soon be playing shows. They are also joined by Jack Mitchell of Haven, a band that had about two good songs.

While Marion never quite reached the levels of success of many other Britpop bands, they are still a favorite among me and my friends with their catchy dramatic pop songs. Tracks like Sparkle, What Are We Waiting for and this track, Miyako Hideaway have never strayed far from my rotation. Hopefully they’ll tour Toronto where they’ll probably play in front of about 30 people, 30 very happy people.
