Marcia Blaine School For Girls has been played on NTS in shows including Channeling w/ Ivan Smagghe & Nathan Gregory Wilkins, featured first on 7 July 2020. Songs played include Sometimes My Arms Bend Back and Sometimes I Bend My Arms Back.

With a name based on the fictional school of the 1961 novel and film, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, The Marcia Blaine School For Girls is actually comprised of three Glaswegian lads. They have been forging their own particular approach to electronic music for the past few years, melding such disparate styles as American Minimalism, Detroit techno and the blunted groove of dancehall and then adding their own distinct signature treatment – crushed rhythms and affecting haunting melodies.

Since their inception they have released a steady stream of tracks on compilations, 7” and 12”s, for labels including Static Caravan, Benbecula, Awkward Silence, Dalriada, Expanding, Struktur and Stuff Records, and also previously curated a compilation of Scottish electronica for Highpoint Lowlife. This release, Halfway Into The Woods, is their debut full-length release, and sees them for the first time musically incorporating vocals, and expanding on the recurring themes and ideas hinted at on previous releases.

The three members of the band are heavily involved in running the ever-popular Glasgow club, Numbers, and have numerous musical side projects – The Village Orchestra, Production Unit, Accrual, Rose and Sandy, and The Village Unit.

Over the past two years, they have been playing live all over the UK and Europe, sharing bills alongside Sleeparchive, Andreas Tilliander, Modeselektor, Isan, Jimmy Edgar, Yellotone, Joshua Treble, Mitchell Akiyama, Shadow Huntaz, Alias, and many more. Clash magazine will be hosting their next live appearance, in Glasgow’s legendary Sub Club for an album launch party on January the 26th 2007.
