We\u2019ve found a lot of freedom and love for one another through this process.

You forget how one another are, but we always come together and put family first to sort stuff out,\u201d she told <em>NME<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has fixed a lot and our bond is stronger than ever. The beautiful thing about Marmozets is that I\u2019m the oldest of seven, and with the huge family we have of the Bottomleys and the Macintyres, we wouldn\u2019t be as close if it weren\u2019t for the band.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The singer continued: \u201cWe used to think the band dragged us apart and that we weren\u2019t communicating, but it\u2019s actually the opposite. We\u2019ve found a lot of freedom and love for one another through this process. Getting the band back together has been really healing, and I never thought I\u2019d say that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Released on May 22, \u2018CO.WAR.DICE\u2019 was the third album from Marmozets, following on from 2014 debut \u2018The Weird And Wonderful Marmozets\u2019 and 2018\u2019s \u2018Knowing What You Know Now\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/marmozets-part-ways-with-bassist-sam-macintyre-due-to-relationship-becoming-unworkable-3958637&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/marmozets_nme_interview.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Marmozets part ways with bassist Sam Macintyre due to \u201crelationship becoming unworkable\u201d \u201cPlease be assured that this decision is in the best interests of everyone involved\u201d By Liberty Dunworth 23rd July 2026 Marmozets, 2026.
