Marlin's Dreaming is an indie band hailing from the coastal city of Dunedin in New Zealand, known for their dreamy blend of jangle pop, surf rock, and indie-psych sounds. The group formed in late 2017, and quickly established themselves with their debut album “Lizard Tears,” casting a creative ripple through the indie music scene with its laid-back and introspective tunes. Characterized by their smooth guitar work and frontman Semisi Maiai's introspective lyricism, Marlin's Dreaming deftly swings from mellow, sun-soaked tracks to more brooding, atmospheric numbers.

Over the years, Marlin's Dreaming has continued to evolve their sound, demonstrated through a series of releases that showcase their artistic range and depth. Their EP "Talk On/Commic," released in 2018, and subsequent albums like "Quotidian," which came out in 2020, see the band refining their sonic landscape and exploring new thematic territories. Live performances like "Pink Frost - Live" capture the raw, enchanting energy of the band when playing onstage. With a passionate fan base and a penchant for crafting mesmerizing melodies, Marlin's Dreaming continues to enamor listeners and critics alike as they navigate the currents of the global indie music scene, leaving an impactful and lasting impression with each new release.
