MARBLEWOOD - "Marblewood"
Whenever experienced musicians, rooted in rock music, embark on an endeavour to experimenting with sounds and collide with multiple styles improvising on a... suspiciously high level, odds are about the same as observing the explosion of a dieing star: it does happen from time to time, but usually noone is present at the right time and place to keep record of it. Luckily this won't happen to the music of MARBLEWOOD. Like a warm golden light those ever-changing musical supernovae evolving in jams reach out on their recipients immediately, hooking them on their incredible freshness and playfulness. Blues-fused guitar solos meet heavy desert rock riffs, jazzy beats, electronic grooves and floydian psychedelia. Long instrumental passages feature additional organ and dilruba. The guys at the controls of that scenery have teamed up from different groups in the swiss psychedelic and jamband scene. Marc Walser (guitars, vocals) & Ariane Bertogg (bass) worked together for more than a decade and played nearly 200 shows in half of Europe. Dave Zurbuchen (drums, vocals, keys) complets the team with his highly versatile and inspired drumming. Marblewoods first album, which is at the same time the official announcement of the band itself, promises a timeless listening experience that glows far beyond the tides of trends or fashion.
