New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) - Marrow - the San Francisco-based industrial-electro band who are "like a Top 40 Atari Teenage Riot" (SF Chronicle) - will release their sophomore album 'Sunshine Enema' on March 2. The eight song collection features ferociously programmed beats coated with a dark pop sheen, with each track burrowing itself into the listener's brain. Check out lead single "Use Me" here.
Marrow has devised a unique way for fans to "ingest" their latest album. As part of the "Sunshine Enema Master Cleanse Kit", the album comes as a pill shaped USB drive, which can be found inside a 'Sunshine Enema' pill bottle and prescription bag, complete with "dosing instructions" for how to use it.
All the fancy packaging in the world would mean nothing if the band's music weren't such a miserably good time. As vocalist and songwriter Erin Fortes says, "we want to prove that misery can also make you move your gloomy ass." "Use Me" kicks the album off with a forceful backbeat and powerful synth stabs, as Jeremy and Erin Fortes' anguished vocals float above the mix. "Tear You Apart" is an industrial-coated reinterpretation of the She Wants Revenge track, while "Impotent Hack" could easily have soundtracked a 'Bladerunner' chase scene.
The band also look for other ways to spread their motto that "bliss is ignorance," creating tongue-in-cheek PSA and Holiday Card videos for their fictional "Society for the Advancement of Despair." Check them out here.
Marrow is: Erin Fortes - composer, lead vocals, synths; Jeremy Fortes - composer, producer, lead vocals, synths; David Earl - producer, synths, background vocals.
