ABOUT


"a compelling piece of genre-spanning avant-pop equally suffused with a love of humanity, reflected in its voracious appetite for the many nuances of groove and sound, and an abhorrence for the many ways humanity is oppressed, compressed, and vaporized via the soul-crushing pressures of capitalism and encroaching technocracy."
- Bandcamp, Best Albums of Spring 2024

“a fierce, anti-capitalist critique of the West’s indifference towards human suffering. A cheery challenge to our governments’ inability to demonstrate basic humanity towards others”
- The Fader

"The revolution that Ocher proposes is not a militaristic coup but instead a form of cultural reconditioning that prompts us to reassess the roles we play within the capitalist framework."

- The Quietus

Mary Ocher has been pushing the boundaries between pop and avant-garde for almost two decades, with playful and colorful form, and clever content that winks at everyone who recognizes its cultural and historical references.

Ocher is a self-taught punk poet, sound artist, director and visual artist, who toured the whole world and counts artists such as Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Animal Collective, Sean Lennon, and Nan Goldin among her admirers. Her upcoming album joins a series of apocalyptic and politically charged concept albums.

The critically acclaimed new album Your Guide To Revolution is a joyful ode to hope, set for release just six months after its predecessor, the melancholy experimental: Approaching Singularity: Music for The End of Time. The recordings were made with Mercury Prize-winning producer Mike Lindsay (of Tunng/LUMP). Following its EU release in June, the album is finally out July 19th US/worldwide via Underground Institute.

Ocher recently released the companion album Palazzo Stabile Sessions: Remixes and B-sides featuring a slew of guests such as Pyrolator, Mehmet Aslan, Eve Maret, and more.
