After five years away from music, Mike Marlin has just released his new single, Whale Hill, which is a reflective track shaped by the discovery of ancient whale fossils in Chile. The track views humanity from a distant, almost extraterrestrial angle, picturing a future where whales endure long after we vanish.
Built on atmospheric indie textures and sweeping, filmic songwriting, it signals the direction of his forthcoming album We Start With Silence, created with Danton Supple and Danny Monk. Mike’s unique outlook on life and art, influenced by losing sight in one eye as a child, gives the music a panoramic, observational tone. Free from industry pressure, his return feels purposeful, delivering a thoughtful and quietly haunting re-imagining of his sound today.
