Mary Ocher

"There is no artist quite like Mary Ocher. Her music is like an organism, evolving with each project, adapting to the world around it. "

- The Berliner

"A compelling piece of genre-spanning avant-pop equally suffused with a love of humanity, reflected in its voracious appetite for the many nuances of groove and sound, and an abhorrence for the many ways humanity is oppressed, compressed, and vaporized via the soul-crushing pressures of capitalism and encroaching technocracy."

- Bandcamp - Best Releases of The Year

 "A fierce, anti-capitalist critique of the West’s indifference towards human suffering. A cheery challenge to our governments’ inability to demonstrate basic humanity towards others”

- The Fader

"The revolution that Ocher proposes is not a militaristic coup but instead a form of cultural reconditioning that prompts us to reassess the roles we play within the capitalist framework."

- The Quietus - Album of The Week

 "It’s wonked-out pop music, riffing on everything from Spaghetti Western soundtracks to space-age funk minimalism, with an interlude naturally paying homage to Laurie Anderson."

- Flood Magazine

“Her experimental pop sits in its own space. At moments, her torchier songs have hints of Nico - John Cale might be in there too... - but the dramatic melodic arcs have an immediacy which ensures an instant bond with the audience. Lyrically, she forthrightly decries inequality and pointless frictions. Above all, Mary Ocher connects.”
