Marina Allen’s Eight Pointed Star brings back her light fusion of indie rock and Americana, evoking the folk revival of late ’60s icons like Joni Mitchell and Karen Dalton as much as it does present-day peers Dana Gavanski and Andy Schauf.

Marina Allen :: Centrifics
The sound of Marina Allen’s terrific second LP is steeped in the late 1960s / early 1970s singer-songwriter styles of Carole King, Nilsson, After the Gold Rush and For The Roses. But it’s to Allen’s immense credit that Centrifics somehow still feels firmly fixed in the present day. This isn’t just a detailed Topanga Canyon re-creation — it’s a skilled update, with its own distinct twists and turns.
