Local favorites in the Marin County music scene, Marble Party is part indie rock, part power pop, and a hint of psychedelia. Their debut album Lyle has garnered rave reviews since its release, and DJ Cuppa Joe at KALX-FM in Berkeley named Lyle on his list of top 20 albums for 2011.
Congratulations are in order to Marble Party for their latest release, "Plush Up." Their sophomore effort, it represents a notable evolution in the band’s sound and songwriting since their 2012 debut, "Lyle." It has a great, original feel - indie rock, but with a touch of 60's Brit pop and a hint of psychedelia. It's rockin’, melodic, punchy, and concise. The songs are heavy on hooks, and recall early indie rock pioneers R.E.M. and The Rembrandts.
