After playing shows with the likes of CHVRCHES and Foster The People, Phoenix alternative duo MRCH today get a new era underway as they share the new single ‘Stars Align’.

The track previews their upcoming EP ‘TV Bliss’ which follows in the autumn and represents their first release under a new deal with The Vertex.

MRCH operates at the convergence between driving, dynamic alt-rock and sleek synth-pop. They’re at once joyful, escapist and cathartic, but with a simmering dark undercurrent that provides an edgy, unsettling tone. The themes and wider aesthetic throughout ‘TV Bliss’ was inspired by Mickey’s childhood passion for television. And just as she discovered new artists via syncs in ‘Dawson’s Creek’ and ‘Gilmore Girls’, MRCH have become soundtrack regulars in the streaming age with their songs featuring in ‘Shameless’, ‘Guilt’, ‘The Vampire Diaries’, ‘Famous in Love’, ‘Search Party’, ‘13 Reasons Why’ and ‘The Twilight Zone’.
