Delta Marsh

About Me

Delta Marsh are Sean McMurray and Kerri Neraasen, from Toronto, Canada. Their passions include electronic music, experimental video and locally grown, organic produce. They enjoy long walks on the beach, long walks through marshes, forests, meadows, fields, peat bogs, swamps, fens, heaths, scrub plains, deserts, public parks and the decaying, burnt-out landscapes of what were once considered the great industrial cities of North America.THE MUSIC: Evocative and emotional, removed and cool. Bass loops, dreamy vocals, sequenced drums, airy guitars, fuzzed-out leads, melodic keys and periodic announcements.THE VISUALS: Super 8, high 8, digital video and stills... experimental, funny, serious, political, nonsensical.

This video belongs more with our influences but looks better here. Thanks to Michael P. for the YouTube tip.
