Black Marble's new video features unbridled mischief. Parisian directors Antoine Camard and Théo Sixou have released a video for the Black Marble song, "A Great Design", from their album, A Different Arrangment. Some...
Synth-pop duo wants to encourage you to feel mopey. Wow, the '80s sure seem far away, don't they? Big hair, tight leggings, Walkmans, Northern Exposure, Flashdance. The Soviet Union was occupying Afghanistan, and the US was giving money to the Taliban to fight them. No cell phones, no text messaging, no home computers or email, no flatscreen TVs. People would make appointments to meet up later in the week and then actually, y'know, meet, without calling two hundred times to confirm or postpone or...
RED FANG, FEDERATION X, DOG SHREDDER ( Wonder Ballroom , 128 NE Russell) Who needs a face? You'll happily watch it melt off with the beer-drenched rock 'n' roll of Portland's Red Fang. Happily! Your body will be so busy shreddin', it won't even notice. Just shotgun a couple PBRs, then get that face-less head a-banging,f because these boys don't play around town as much as we want 'em to.

BLACK MARBLE, BELLICOSE MINDS, DEAD CULT, SHADOW HOUSE ( The Know , 2026 NE Alberta) Black Marble's musical backbone is exacting synth, with vocals that convey something dark and dreamy. Imagine, if you will (oh, you will ), a man with an exceptionally low but beautiful voice. It's very dark, and for some reason he's inside of an old toy store, drunk. Rows and rows of windup toys make persistent beats in unison—little bears, dolls, and soldiers click and ting, playing their instruments with factory precision. As the melancholic crooner slowly weaves through the toy displays, his [...]

It’s been a little over four months since Black Marble released their last record A Different Arrangement on Hardly Art Records. In the interim, they’ve toured in support of the record and peddled their post-darkwave wares across the country, though oddly enough they’ve yet to play a tour on the west coast. The band is rectifying that oversight in the next few weeks. And heading into this run of dates, they’ve shared the new video for “A Great Design” from A Different Arrangement . Watch the video below and check [...]

Brooklyn dark synth duo otherwise known as Black Marble have premiered the video to their single, "A Great Design" on Noisey today. The video, directed by Antoine Camard and Théo Sixou , was shot outside an abandoned building in Paris and captures true teenage rebellion. Click here to view the embedded video. Taken from their debut album A Different Arrangement , the record is out now on Hardly Art Records .
... You might remember "A Great Design" . After all, I did write about it last year. Hell, it was even my 7th favorite track of 2012 according to this list . Black Marble have finally gotten around to releasing a video for this excellent track. Their update said that "this was shot outside of Paris in an abandoned building with a bunch of kids. It rules." Truth.
A un año de haber dado a conocer "A Great Design" como adelanto de su álbum debut, Black Marble ya ha dado a conocer el vídeo oficial para este track que se desprende de " A Different Arrangement ", el cual hace no mucho tiempo recibió un tratamiento extra por parte de ERAAS , así que sería muy extraño que a estas alturas del partido aún no ubiquen de qué se trata Black Marble ; pero si este es su caso, no pierdan más tiempo y sólo pasen a ver este vídeo bajo la dirección de [...]

Brooklyn duo Black Marble follow-up 2012's Weight Against the Door EP with their debut full-length, A Different Arrangement.
