Marrow - The Gold Standard
Marrow - The Gold Standard
Marrow is an experimental indie rock band from Chicago. The Gold Standard is their debut full-length album.
This record feels like a great band stretching its muscles and figuring out what it can do. Pretty much every song experiments with a different genre or sound. There are lots of jazz inspired songs, there are folk songs, there are folk songs that break down into psychedelic freak-outs (Ocean Of Glory), and a few solid rockers to balance things out.
It’s not perfect. But this band consistently makes unusual and interesting choices, and if they keep that up, they could be great. Tons of potential here, and a solid record to boot.
Highlights: She Chose You • Paulson • Mother of Maladies
