yes please
Lily Maring's solo project Yes Please has served as an outlet for her social and musical development throughout her late teens and early twenties. Formerly based in Olympia, WA, Maring now resides in Oakland, CA where she is involved in the Bay Area's punk/DIY scene and continues to record as Yes Please on a 4-track.

Lily's first full length release is an album diverse in feel and content. Acapella, nylon string guitar, lushly orchestrated tracks; this album displays a greatly expanded musical palette while retaining the well crafted imagery and lyricism she's always shown.

Like turning through a photo album, or reading your lover's journal while they're away.
These five songs, recorded on a borrowed 8-track in an Olympia basement, form a compassionate narrative of a world seen with clear eyes. The songs move from topic to topic and shift moods in ways that seem both suprising and effortless.
