| On October 14, 2016 Black Marble will release their second |
| full-length, ItÆs Immaterial. Their first for Ghostly, ItÆs |
| Immaterial follows up their EP Weight Against the Door(Hardly Art) |
| and highly acclaimed debut full-length A Different Arrangement |
| (Hardly Art). Still featuring Chris Stewart at the helm along with |
| select collaborators as supplementation, the project's recent |
| shift in locale from East Coast to West Coast lends a great deal |
| to the overall feel of the new album: the light and dark elements |
| of shadows, the salt and sting of eveningÆs high tide sea spray, a |
| beautiful thing left on a shelf too high to maintain. The general |
| mood is that of creating something new, but going back in time to |
| do it. Like attempting to flesh out a song that you woke up |
| humming but canÆt find because it doesnÆt exist yet. |
| |
| With the end of the East Coast chapter of StewartÆs life on the |
| horizon, ItÆs Immaterial was recorded in a period of mental and |
| physical transition, trapped between spaces and unable to move on |
| until the snow globe flurry of ideas floating around him settled |
| just right. ItÆs Immaterial is soaring and muted all at once. It's |
| a collection of songs pieced together from perfect seeming |
| snippets heard while passing open doors. It's a framework in which |
| your imagination creates its own version of what you need to hear |
| but didnÆt have a way to describe û like a favorite song heard on |
| an unlabeled mixtape by a band you canÆt uncover. |
| |
| With both early releases the band followed a familiar path stomped |
| down in the late 70's and early 80's by a kindred assemblage of |
| synth acts whose gauzy tape sounds and DIY ethics paved the way |
| for other likeminded artists. Pulling from the handmade approach |
| of late 70's synth wave pioneers like Silicon Teens, Iron Curtain, |
| Lives of Angels, and Solid Space, Black Marble dialed in on a |
| clear understanding of its own specific sound, which has since |
| evolved. Channeling Robert Palmer's early Island years, vocals |
| have been pushed forward û their delivery more desperate. The |
| result is a feeling more immediate yet claustrophobic. |
| |
| ôIt's a lot of psychic turmoil about time, place, and the |
| dissatisfaction that comes with being young and not having control |
| over place, or being old and not having control over time,ö |
| Stewart says about the album. ôThe record is filled with |
| characters trying to convince themselves, and others, to change or |
| to see things differently or to come along with them somewhere. |
| ItÆs that moment of wanting between knowing and doing but frozen |
| in time.ö |
| |
| ItÆs Immaterial is a further evolution in Black Marble's sound. |
| Where the songs featured on their debut full-length seemed to hiss |
| from a vent in the floor, the new tracks seem to be coming from |
| the next room. Written, recorded, mixed, and performed entirely by |
| Stewart, the new songs are a unified vision û one personÆs attempt |
| to patchwork together bits of vapor and the most subtle gleanings |
| of preference to make something wholly new. It's an endless drive |
| in the passenger seat of a car while listening to everything |
| youÆve ever loved, but lasting only 40 minutes. |
