Brooklyn’s Black Marble are set to release their debut LP, entitled A Different Arrangement, on Hardly Art Records on October 9th. Preceding the release of that album, the duo has shared a track, “A Great Design.” Not all of their titles follow the structure of article, adjective, noun, which you can verify in the track listing below. “A Great Design” is a reverb soaked homage to 80s new wave that distinguishes itself with its dark pop overtones. The twinkling melody and upbeat snare are a wonderful contrast to the droning vocals. The song is all sunlight and shadows. It floats by effortlessly, and you’ll find the somber, subtle melodies echoing in your head all day long. Great stuff from an up and coming group.
