What’s the expression: when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade?
Lockdown has given musicians around the world the mother of all lemon-flavoured hangovers this last year. Unable to fulfil their usually prolific touring schedule,
Marbin has done the next best thing and recorded a live set for their legion of (largely US-based) fans.
How to describe Marbin’s sound? It’s a jazz-rock hard candy with a punk soft centre, dipped in funk and sprinkled with a whole lot of other stuff.
It’s a little hard to chew at times, and probably isn’t good for the teeth, but it’s energetic as hell and full of the sort of shot-in-the-arm grooves that are welcome in this current period of live music drought.
