![]() ![]() We went to a pretty small school district, so we probably knew of each other since sixth or seventh grade. JEREMY LLOYD: It’s hard to say when you’re that young. But yeah, we met in seventh grade I think, technically. SAMANTHA GONGOL: I had a dream about this a few nights ago. Can you talk a little bit about that? How you first became friends? We first spoke with the two 24-year-olds over the phone when Gongol was in Philadelphia, Llyod was in Brooklyn, and we were in Ohio, but then caught up in person after they landed their record deal.ĮMILY MCDERMOTT: I read that your name comes from a production that you both did of The Music Man in middle school. ![]() Here, we’re pleased to exclusively stream Marian Hill’s latest single, “Wasted,” a seemingly apt follow-up to “Whiskey” and a track to which we find ourselves singing along and pressing repeat without a conscious realization. Since then, the Philadelphia- and Brooklyn-based duo-known as Marian Hill-has hit the ground running, growing quickly from two friends making music during spring break and summer vacation to signing with Photo Finish Records and releasing their second EP, Sway, on February 17.Īlthough Lloyd’s Yale degree is in musical theater and Gongol’s is in music business from NYU, the pair departed from their academic studies to pursue lifelong hobbies of singing and songwriting: Gongol’s ethereal vocals now layer over Llyod’s smooth, catchy indie pop production. After at least 60 cold emails, Lloyd and Gongol’s first single, “Whiskey,” was picked up by blogs and made it to the top 10 on Hype Machine. However, less than a year ago, that’s exactly what Jeremy Lloyd did for his project with longtime friend and collaborator Samantha Gongol (“I go by Sam, but all the blogs say Samantha,” she says with a laugh). Successfully self-publicizing one’s music is a hard task, especially if the musician has not yet graduated college and has only song to his or her name.
