Marblewood
is a new band featuring the guitar player and bass player from the Swiss blues
rock band, Ginger, who are taking a break it would appear from their website.
David Zurbuchen (drums), Michael Marti (organ) fill out the band. There are
also two other guests on hand drums (Sandro) and vocals on the track, Splendor.
This CD features 6 long tracks in 70mins. Kailash starts things off with a
pretty heavy rock track that almost reminds me of some of Wino’s solo material
and bands. The middle section is an improvised jam with a slow evolving guitar
solo and later the organ joins in as it really builds up. The female bass
player, Ariane is really good and helps to lead many of the pieces as David
really rocks on the drums. Hit the Breaks reminds me of Siena Root with it
uptempo and organ driven rhythm and trading guitar and organ solos and cool
lyrics about the fate of humanity! Splendor features the talents of Sandro on
dilruba and esraj, which gives the track a really unique sound with these
strange Indian instruments. Sarah Weibel guests on vocals after the spoken word
part by Marc. Marc later plays a very intense wah guitar solo as the track
really builds with some intense drumming. Silence is a 10min track and starts
very slow and bluesy and a very depressing lyrical theme but some damn fine
lead guitar work, so passionate. Postwar Apocalypse continues with the heavy
lyrical themes and features a more heavy guitar riff. David plays some synths
on this track as well. The last track, is called In the Beginning and this is
the first jam the band had when they hit the studio back in August 2013 and it
is a 21min long instrumental piece. You have to be patient but you can hear the
beginnings of the band on this one long track. Great fucking record….
