Title: Mermaid vs Sailor
Content:  Marina and the Diamonds launched her career as a musician at 18 years old, when she began auditioning for roles in London-based musicals. Despite attending several auditions, she was unable to secure roles and began self-composing and producing demos using the digital audio workstation GarageBand on her personal laptop computer instead. Around this time, she began to learn how to properly play the keyboard, an instrument commonly featured throughout Mermaid vs Sailor. After completing several recordings, she compiled them into a demo tape and submitted it to several major record labels for consideration. Mermaid vs Sailor was released on 23 November 2007 through Diamandis' official Myspace profile page. It could be purchased digitally as a paid download or as a handmade CD-R self-distributed by Diamandis. According to her, she produced and packaged approximately 70 physical copies of the

Content:  Mermaid vs Sailor is the first extended play by Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, released under the stage name Marina and the Diamonds. The EP was independently released on 23 November 2007 and distributed via her official profile on Myspace. It contains six demos recorded by Diamandis at her home and approximately 70 CD-R copies were created. She also distributed the EP to several record labels with the hope that she would secure a contract; she ultimately was signed to 679 Recordings in 2008. The EP is a collection of indie pop tracks that heavily utilise keyboards in their production. Diamandis wrote and produced all of the six songs that appear on the EP by herself using the computer software program GarageBand. Several of these songs later appeared on other projects by Diamandis, such as her following release The Crown Jewels EP (2009) and debut studio album The Family Jewels (2010). Retrospectively, Mermaid vs Sailor received generally positive reviews from music critics, who felt it was indicative of Diamandis' potential as an artist.

Content:  Mermaid vs Sailor received favourable reviews from music critics. Rick Fulton from the Daily Record suggested that the EP generated extensive exposure for Diamandis as an artist and felt it helped to establish her as "yet another MySpace success story". Angie Bhandal, writing for Music Bloggery, considered the EP a charming effort that "instantly [revealed] something about her music that record labels wanted a piece of"; further in her review, she acknowledged that her overall reaction to the EP was "cringe" but said that later releases such as The Family Jewels managed to reveal the same quirky sound of Mermaid vs Sailor. In 2008, a year after the release of the EP, Diamandis was signed during a bidding war to London-based 679 Recordings, a subdivision of the Warner Music Group record label. The popularity of her Myspace profile and Mermaid vs Sailor led to her discovery by Neon Gold Records head Derek Davies, who worked with Diamandis for a period of six months. He also booked her as the opening act for select shows with Australian singer Gotye.
