Black Marble's 'Bigger Than Life' on red vinyl is a must - have. After the talk around their breakthrough LP 'It's Immaterial', this is Chris Stewart's first proper LA record. He faced car troubles upon arrival in LA, which led to him taking the bus daily. This experience influenced his songwriting, as he describes the record as being more about the way things are. The sound is classic Black Marble, relying on vintage analog gear. Stewart took it a step further by writing and sequencing via MIDI on his MPC. The album starts straight - forward, with catchy lyrics right from the start. It has vintage coldwave vibes, but with brighter, poppier melodies similar to New Order. Tracks like 'Daily Driver' and the title track are as catchy as any from 'Immaterial'. 'One Eye Open' is perfect for goth club dancefloors. There are also introspective moments like 'Feels' and 'Call'. With three albums on different labels, Black Marble has found a great home at Sacred Bones. This red vinyl edition is limited, comes with a digital download, and is from Sacred Bones Records 2019. Highly recommended.
To enjoy this Black Marble red vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is set up correctly. Gently place the record on the turntable and use the tonearm to drop the needle on the start of the groove. Sit back and enjoy the music. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. Then, put the record back in its sleeve to protect it. Keep the record away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to prevent warping. If the record gets dirty, you can use a record cleaning brush to gently clean the grooves. This limited - edition vinyl also comes with a digital download. You can find the download code in the packaging. Use it to download the album on your preferred music platform for on - the - go listening.
