Marble Sounds are:
Pieter Van Dessel: vocals, guitar and keyboards
Gianni Marzo: guitar, banjo and vocals
Frederik Bastiaensen: bass guitar
Johan De Coster: drum
Brecht Plasschaert: keyboards
Marble Sounds used to revert to atypical song structures (‘Sky High’), while here Van Dessel prefers conventional songs. In that way ‘Dance Clarence Dance’ (a wink at ‘Love Happened’ from Evil Superstars) is catchy indie that outwits Death Cab For Cutie, whilst the power of emptiness dominates in both the Sophia cover ‘Ship In The Sand’ and the ambient ‘The Silent Song’.
‘Dear Me, Look Up’ is a grand and captivating continuation of Marble Sounds musical journey. Managing to combine a defining moment like ‘High Violet’ for The National with the eye for detail of Sparklehorse, Marble Sounds have done more than pull off an impressive musical trick. As the well-established BBC DJ Steve Lamacq described Marble Sounds, the new album typifies what we have come to expect from the band: “So clean sounding but then again so sensitive and emotional at the same time."
Anyone who didn’t get their hands on the first Marble Sounds release three years ago will go overboard for ‘Dear Me, Look Up’. It will be available online and in all good record stores on March 25th by Zealrecords.
