Moving between ambient pop, dream pop and shoegaze textures, the night leans toward close listening, with soft electronics, voice, hazy guitar, and songs that open slowly.<\/p>\n<p>Selkie, from Scotland, and Marina Yozora, from Japan, briefly crossed paths while their lives were pulling in opposite directions and have quietly supported one another from afar ever since. Selkie has spent recent years performing across Japan, Chile and Mexico, while Marina moved from Tokyo to London to develop her music. For a long time, they hoped to play the same room together.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in Glasgow, their music meets for the first time.<\/p>\n<p><i>For fans of: Bj\u00f6rk, Cocteau Twins, Daughter, Radiohead<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X5WQhW6KSIw?si=5jf_WlYCfV5S899-\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Selkie&#8217;s links:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/selkiesound.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a>\u00a0| <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/selkiesound\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/selkiemusic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Website<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Selkie is a Scottish musician creating voice-led ambient pop and electronic folk, built around electric guitar and atmospheric vocal-based sound design. Her work is spacious and unhurried, using the voice as both melodic and textural presence.<\/p>\n<p>The project took shape during a period when speaking, and even breathing, felt fragile, and returning to sound became a way of rebuilding trust in voice and body. Sitting at the piano each day developed into a quiet, grounding practice, one that drew Selkie toward nature, ritual, and the slow unfolding of songs.<\/p>\n<p>Over time, these early sketches expanded into a broader body of work. From pianos in Glasgow to bedroom studios in Berlin and onto stages across Japan, Selkie\u2019s music has grown through movement and place. Her songs favour restraint and openness, allowing space for ambiguity and emotional resonance rather than resolution.<\/p>\n<p>Her music has received support from BBC Introducing Scotland and BBC Radio Scotland, and has been covered by outlets including The Skinny, Glamglare and The Slow Music Movement.<\/p>\n<p>Having recently completed a tour in Mexico, Selkie now returns to Scotland with her debut EP In Waves in its final stages, ahead of its release later in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XPWgvq_kS6I?si=-VuySguAmyTlMxHl\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Marina Yozora&#8217;s links: <a href=\"http:\/\/marinayozora.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/marinayozora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/linktr.ee\/marinayozora\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Linktree<br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Marina Yozora is a London-based dream pop and shoegaze singer-songwriter from Tokyo, known for her lush, reverb-soaked vocals layered over immersive, textured guitar. Drawing inspiration from Daughter, Cocteau Twins, and Slowdive, her music blends intimacy with expansive sonic landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>Her releases have been featured on KEXP&#8217;s <em>Pacific Notions<\/em> and covered by outlets including <em>Shoegaze Blog<\/em> and <em>Static Sounds Club<\/em>, which described her as &#8220;a new dream pop voice worth watching.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Alongside a steady run of shows in London, Marina has performed in Glasgow, Lisbon, and Rome, as well as a sold-out headline show in Tokyo. She has also built a growing audience in Manchester through her appearance at the UK&#8217;s largest Japanese festival, HYPER JAPAN (2025).<\/p>\n<p>Her headline show for Independent Venue Week 2026 in London sold out nearly two weeks in advance, with a waiting list forming ahead of the night. Audiences often describe her performances as feeling like &#8220;a heartfelt and intimate conversation,&#8221; even within a full room.<\/p>\n<p>Having grown up between Japan, the United States, and Vietnam, Marina carries a wide emotional and cultural landscape into her songwriting. She returns with a new single on 29 May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Selkie and Marina Yozora come together at The Old Hairdressers for a rare double headline show: two artists working in spacious and ethereal song worlds, each playing a full set.
