Slovenian Band MRFY Champions Human Connection, Releases New Music

Slovenian band MRFY is making waves with their latest single, "Počitnice" (Holidays), which they describe as an "anthem for summer, carefree days." This release is part of their "FeatSummer" project, a logical progression given their recent collaborations with artists like Helena Blagne, Ružni Pače, and the duo RotorMotor. The project's name cleverly plays on the word "feat" (collaboration) and hints at a healthy lifestyle ("fit").

The band recently spent nearly a month in Ireland, laying the groundwork for their fourth full-length album. They sought inspiration in the "greener grass" and "more variable weather" of the Emerald Isle, promising that the new music will be "even more honest and playful." While they enjoy the dynamic lifestyle that comes with being musicians, they acknowledge the intensity and don't pinpoint a specific number of vacation days needed, stating that a fulfilling career requires fewer days off.

Our friends are our fans, our families, and our musical contemporaries. We most enjoy collaborating with people who inspire us and awaken magic within us.

MRFY's artistic philosophy extends to their views on technology. They are actively pushing against the tide of artificial intelligence in music production. "We are against AI because we want our fans to feel us," the band states, emphasizing that "people need people to feel genuine emotions and energy." This commitment to human connection is central to their identity and their creative process.

When asked to describe their summer as a film, MRFY humorously suggested a title that plays on inversions: "In summer I go skiing, in winter I go swimming, during the day I sleep, at night I go...?" The genre they envisioned was an "indie rock action romantic drama." They also touched upon the concept of a "Tihi lover" (Silent Lover) as a figure from one's hidden erotic fantasies, a secret agent of desire.

The band's core message revolves around a belief in "21st-century love." Their music, characterized by tenderness and rebellion, nostalgia and hope, possesses a "magical energy" that resonates deeply with their audience, referred to affectionately as their "Prjatučki" (friends).

If your summer were a film, what would be the title? And what would be the genre? Title would be: In summer I go skiing, in winter I go swimming, during the day I sleep, at night I go...? Genre: indie rock action romantic drama.
