Words are a big thing for Marla Mase. For her, music counterbalances and complements the vignettes that swirl around in her head. The brief accounts of fear, the blues, anxiety or the hope of fulfilling dreams of acknowledging the inner sexual beast -- these are the themes that drive her. Marla is living in her own skin and wants those who listen to her music to be comfortable in theirs as well. Her latest EP, Half-Life, might be a metaphor for Marla's excursion into embracing the next life while she's in the present life shuffling off the mortal coil. Or simply that she's entering a chapter when the troubles of daily life can sit side by side with the rewards.
Regardless of the impetus, not wanting to drown in the blue, Marla would rather abandon the strife: walk, talk and work on high-speed before the blue sneaks up and imprisons. She knows that magic exists in the grayer spaces -- the undefined. And for her, the dichotomy of being both introverted and extroverted is to be or not to be in one's own life.
