Eerie Wanda is the brainchild of audio and visual artist Marina Tadic. Born to Croatian parents in the former Yugoslavia, Marina became a political refugee when she was just 6 years old. Forced to leave their home due to the Bosnian war, Marina's parents sought asylum in the Netherlands, which is where Marina grew into an adult, became an accomplished artist, and where she still resides.
With influences ranging from indie rock to dream pop, Eerie Wanda's music captivates listeners with its ethereal melodies and introspective lyrics. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences and her unique perspective as a refugee, *Marina* creates songs that resonate deeply with audiences.
If you enjoy artists such as Hand Habits, Someone, or Amber Arcades, then Eerie Wanda's music will surely be a perfect addition to your collection. With a discography that showcases her artistic growth and evolution over time, *Marina* continues to push boundaries and create music that defies categorization.

Joyful Noise Recordings is an independent music label based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Since its inception in the early 2000s, the label has been dedicated to releasing innovative and boundary-pushing music across various genres.

With a roster that includes *Kishi Bashi*, *Sufjan Stevens*, and *Deerhoof*, Joyful Noise Recordings has become known for its commitment to supporting unique and talented artists. The label's diverse catalog spans from indie rock to experimental pop, showcasing a range of artistic voices.

Not only does Joyful Noise Recordings release albums, but they also offer exclusive limited edition vinyl releases through their subscription service called "The White Label Series." This allows fans to discover new music while collecting rare and collectible records.

For fans of Beat Happening, Broadcast, Young Marble Giants and Allah-Las. For Dutch / Croatian songwriter and visual artist Marina Tadic, Pet Town represents time well spent in one’s own shell. Her second LP as Eerie Wanda (and first for Joyful Noise Recordings), Pet Town is a stripped down spectral manifestation, anchored by Tadic’s wistful lyrics and self possessed vocal delivery. Mixed by producer Jasper Geluk, the album is perched in warm, homespun recordings live drums are replaced with handclaps, finger snaps, and a Roland-CR 78 drum machine, enhancing the music’s tactile and intimate headspace. Using minimal recording techniques, Tadic shaped these ten songs on sheer intuition, while drawing inspiration from solitude: how it can be both a state of euphoria but also one of loneliness of inner meditation and outer yearning. Echoing the sonorous gleam of West Coast pop, opening song Pet Town initially sounds like a love letter to one’s hometown, as both a tangible and emotional sanctuary. Between the lines, Tadic grapples with the sudden absence of shiny beacons that once enriched her life. Hands Of The Devil casts spells of attraction with its hypnotic flamenco cadence, whereas the humdrum amble of Sleepy Eyes evokes a rude awakening from those very spells.
