Mary's Voice is an album by The Music Tapes. Material from the album was previewed during the band's previous caroling tours. In the lead-up to the album, Julian Koster held a Kickstarter campaign for a subsequent tour, with rewards including signed copies/master copies of the album, personalized messages and images, and Koster's banjo used on previous albums, most notably Neutral Milk Hotel's In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. The album also features additional instrumentation from several members of the Elephant 6 Collective.
A music video for "S’Alive to Be Known (May We Starve)" premiered on MTV Hive shortly after the album's release.
Note: The tracks "Intermission (Pt. 1)" and "Intermission (Pt. 2)" only appear on the CD and digital versions of the album. They are included to represent the flipping of a vinyl record.
