Over
Over the past decade Mary Ocher has been persistently creating passionate, uncompromising work, socially and creatively pushing against the current, dealing with subjects of authority, identity and conflict. Her work is as enchanting as it is polarizing, ranging from traditional folk to raw 60s garage, ambient with ethereal vocals and abstract synths, to experimental pop with African and South American rhythms when performing with her drummers (Your Government).
"The West Against The People" was released on H.J. Irmler's label Klangbad (of Krautrock pioneers Faust). It features collaborations with elusive legends Die Tödliche Doris and Felix Kubin and an essay elaborating on the themes of the album and analyzing the current sociopolitical climate.
Quite a bit of new material featuring exciting collaborations awaits a post-pandemic release. Most recently Mary has released an autobiographical comic book ("MOOP!") featuring illustrations by 23 international artists.
