New single 'Deep Fake'  is a Noah’s Ark-style tribute to love and self-discovery that steps into the internet age. It features a special guest performance from Hand Habits’ Meg Duffy on guitar and synthesizer. Released with a brand new music video, directed by Callie Hernandez, it deals with themes of deep fakes in the digital sphere which is explored through face altering technology.

Allen elaborates: “‘Deep Fake’ felt like a little revelation. It spun from this writing workshop I took, led by Chris Weisman. I took guitar lessons from him when I was 20. He has all these tools for songwriting, and ‘Deep Fake’ came out of a prompt. I can’t even remember what the prompt was. It’s sort of two different songs that I just put together. I wanted the first part to feel really personal, like talking to someone you love. It’s also about naming all of these very complicated things that make up our culture. Recognizing them as a reality. But to confront them and see it as sacred.”

“The video superimposes Marina’s face onto the faces of myriad women via sourced archival footage- AKA “Deep Fake.” The latter half of the video was shot on a glitchy DV camera, which was intentionally used to further blur the line between reality and fiction; real and unreal.” Callie Hernandez

“For fans of Cassandra Jenkins's self-possessed lyrical unspoolings. A delicately orchestrated ramble filled with captivating images of interdependence… glorious” The Guardian

“An artist approaching the peak of their powers.” Shindig ★★★★★
