Today (3.27), Marfa, the Americana-rock duo forged in Colorado and raised on Texas roots, dials into a sickly sweet memory lane with “If It Ain’t You,” out now via Ascend Music / Big Machine Records. Produced by and co-written with Andrew DeRoberts (Brothers Osborne, Beyoncé), alongside Marfa’s Bryce Menchaca and Kellen Wall, the new track glows with warm ’70s-inspired sonics, inviting listeners on a walk down memory lane through moments that make love feel like home: a morning cup of coffee, a slow drive together, or a song that brings you back to your first kiss. Soaked in dazed harmonies, cinematic melodies, and a memorable hook, it traces the outline of a love that hasn’t faded.

“‘If It Ain’t You’ started as a last-minute spark, written in about twenty minutes the night before a session, but it quickly turned into something that felt timeless,” said Menchaca and Wall. “Inspired by the warmth of ‘70s ballads, from the storytelling of Glen Campbell to classic soul influences, we set out to capture that kind of enduring, emotional pull. There’s a simplicity on the surface, but underneath it’s built on rich, intricate chord changes that give it depth. It’s the kind of song we hope people fall in love to and maybe even one they walk down the aisle to.”

The release adds to Marfa’s growing catalog, praised by KCRW's Today’s Top Tunes as "music that ties Laurel Canyon to West Texas” and described by Colorado Public Radioas “a harmony-driven acoustic journey,” including recent releases like “American Blues,” “A Million Ways,” “American Lonely,” “Little Lowdown,” and “Daisy.” Already named Best Breakout Folk Duo of 2025 by Westword and featured in HITS Daily Double’s New & Developing roundup alongside Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, and Dalton Davis, the duo continues cementing their road-worn sound among Americana’s most authentic new acts. 

Marfa is currently hitting the road with a nationwide stretch of roots-meets-rock performances, on the heels of their supporting run on The Head and The Heart’samphitheater tour. Upcoming shows include support dates with Shane Smith & The Saints and 49 Winchester, alongside festival appearances with Charles Wesley Godwin, Stephen Wilson Jr., Evan Honer, and Kashus Culpepper, plus select headline shows in Nashville, Salt Lake City, Boulder, Grand Junction, and more.
