Marcy the Baptist is the musical project of American multimedia artist Alexei Petrov. A student film composer and Boston Indie scenester, Alexei began the project in the later weeks of December 2022 to cope with splitting headaches caused by Strattera withdrawal. First intended as a spiteful display of what Rock and Roll could be unencumbered by collegiate retrophelia, the project quickly morphed into a practical experiment in narrative Pop. As it has remained since. -Alexei Petrov
