Today (8.14), Americana-rock duo Marfarelease their new song "Remedy," out now via Big Machine Records/ASCEND Music.Written solely by Marfa's Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall, and produced by Ryan Marrone (Sabrina Carpenter, JP Saxe), thesong reflects the emotional tug-of-war between the desires of the heart and the logic of the mind, unraveling the intoxicating cycle of a relationship that's impossible to quit, even when you know it's already lost.

"Our song 'Remedy' was written on a whim after we had already finished another song," said Marfa. "We thought a song about being continuously dragged into an old relationship could only be solved using some kind of remedy or medicine. The opening lyric, 'rolled up on a rain check just in case maybe you showed up,' is a perfect example of how both parties are at fault in this situation. The lack of reciprocation or effort leads to finger-pointing, which leads to long nights of frustration or pondering."
Anchored by a haunting, hypnotic chorus built for a windows-down drive, "Remedy" immerses listeners in brooding, atmospheric harmonies and looping three-note guitar motifs that echo the cyclical pull of a love and the craving for an "easy pill" to erase the hardship. As the duo asks, "If I jump ship, would you jump in after me?" the song ultimately surrenders to the inevitable: "I need a remedy to get lost, but it's a lost cause."
Highlighted by Billboard for their "daring" brand of "buzzy" Americana-rock, Marfa are poised for a breakout as they gear up to release their upcoming project later this year. Following recent releases "Last Time Last " (6.26) and "If It Ain't You" (3.27), the duo continue to fuse their Texas upbringing and Colorado influence into genre-blurring songs that pair indie-rock textures with cinematic Americana storytelling.
Marfa heads into the fall with performances at Boulder Roots Music Fest and AMERICANAFEST, alongside co-headline dates with Jason Scott & The High Heat and a run of headline Texas shows. Throughout 2026, they've toured with The Head and The Heart, 49 Winchester and Willow Avalon, and will support Jason Boland & The Stragglers and Houndmouth and on select dates.
