Julia Marcell about Sentiments: Julia Marcell plays music that is very song oriented. With the arrangements based around carefully composed, punchy drum parts, distorted bass, punctuated guitar and dirty, resonant viola, the music mixes a lot of genres, but never wanders too far from the pop idea of a song. A story locked in 3 minutes (from Julia Marcell's Facebook page).
The band: Julia Marcell (vocals, guitar, piano, songs), Mandy Ping-Pong (viola, keyboards, vocals), Thomsen Slowey Merkel (bass), Thomas Fietz (drums) and Sebastian Captain Schmidt (drums)
