Marina Yozora - Snow Heat

Marina Yozora wraps a fleeting moment in layers of reverb-soaked guitars and longing.

Marina Yozora - Snow Heat
Photp: Léa VB

“Snow Heat” is about a fleeting connection that grows larger in memory than it ever was in the moment, and shoegaze rock is perfect to express this sentiment sonically. The guitar swells like the echoes of past emotions that are hard to explain.

Marina says:

This is a very powerful song, both lyrically and sonically. It was a song inspired by a flashback memory I had when I met someone briefly and felt something strong that I cannot word well. It lingered in me like an illusion. The song is about a strong feeling I flashed back to, rather than a story. And I wanted listeners to first experience that tension in their own way, without too much visual direction.

Born in Japan and now based in London, Marina Yozora recently shared a stage with Selkie in Glasgow.
