“Sparkler Hair” is a climactic, expansive production from Canadian act Marginalia. The track unfolds with gradual, rewarding impact. Spacey synth frequencies, throbbing like a sonar pulse, are complemented by wordless vocal intrigue and eventual rhythmic propulsions. More upfront vocal immersion appears prior to the two-minute mark, bringing forth an art-pop appeal reminiscent of Animal Collective. The various vocal layers meld seamlessly alongside a jungle-like atmospheric engrossment.
The project comprises members in various cities, including Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. Their shared love for immersive soundscapes and rewarding structural builds result in a riveting sound, melding electronic, ambient, and pop elements for a strongly memorable byproduct. Per the act, the track “tells a story of rediscovering the joys of youth through intimate connection.” “Sparkler Hair” represents the third single so far this year from Marginalia, who seem poised for continued ascent.
