Forget 'Balf Quarry' (though i think its real good), thier new 'Shame Music' cdr on Arbitrary Signs is the record a Marker fan really needs to be getting after. It follows up in the tradition of thier last few cdr's which saw them graduate from neanderthal No Wave/Hardcore stuff into a bracing and epic psychedelic rock band almost bringing to mind the best stuff of PSF records.
Well whatever, hears what David Keenan said about it (hes a better writer than me, albeit more wanky): New limited self-released studio album from the Markers duo of Elisa Ambrogio and Pete Nolan. For me, this one blows away their recent Drag City album, continuing that wild, psychedelic Japanese underground sound of the past few CD-Rs. There are epic, beautiful, fuzz and F/X-soaked instrumentals that ride the slipstream between Bardo Pond and Overhang Party, weird dub/punk tracks that orbit the whole Slits/PIL take on delay-damaged guitar/vocal narcosis and expansive, psychedelic takes on the early Patti/Kaye jams. Dunno how they do it, but this duo side is actually their biggest ’sounding’ release to date, with a choice use of F/X and raggedy-ass guitar textures pushing the whole thing into a more beautiful and genuinely affecting zone than anything that has come before. Pretty much the perfect balance of guitar bombast and up-tight street hassle style. Comes in the usual screened envelopes. Highly recommended.

Keenan really is a TWAT. The funniest was that story on Blastitude about him at a Six Organs of Admittance show.
