This week, we're featuring three new additions to the Marmoset catalog that reward a closer listen. These songs are from artists creating music with character and plenty of opportunities for sync.

We've got:

Aurene's moving cinematic compositions
Bea Dama's high-energy electronic indie
Forty Drop Few's timeless pre-war stringband blues

These are the kinds of songs that give editors plenty to work with. Reach out to [email protected] to get started.

Aurene

Paris-based composer and classically trained pianist Dana Boulé creates music as Aurene, blending intimate piano with understated orchestral arrangements. Every composition is carefully shaped, allowing melodies to unfold naturally while leaving space for the story on screen.

In "Looking Up (Instrumental)," a whimsical piano theme gradually opens into warm orchestral textures.

New Release: "Looking Up (Instrumental)"

Bea Dama

Bea Dama is the collaboration between NYC vocalist Yuwy and Denver producer Nate Manning. Their music combines haunting vocals with explosive drums and expansive synth production, creating songs that keep the flame burning. It's an urgent and unrelenting sound that stands out.

Their new song "Dopamine" is built around soaring synths and a striking vocal performance, this track is a strong fit for campaigns that need energy and a modern edge.

New Release: "Dopamine"

Forty Drop Few

Forty Drop Few is a trio featuring Candra Edwards, Ethan Francis, and Elliot Kennedy, who draw inspiration from pre-war stringband, country blues, early jazz, and traditional American folk music. Trading instruments throughout their performances, they bring an easy chemistry to both classic songs and original compositions, with the warmth and spontaneity that can only come from musicians gathered together around the same microphone.

With lively fiddle and an infectious, old-time groove, "La Leche del Nene" is an excellent fit for footage that calls for an authentic Americana sound with plenty of personality.
