New Single from Marrow

marrowFriday’s are great for feel-good jams, and I think this new single from Marrow fits perfectly into that slot. The band just announced a slew of touring dates for early 2016, which includes an Austin date on January 31st (at Lamberts). In order to promote their album, The Gold Standard, and their tour, they’re offering up this sweet track. I love how it feels like a very groovy pop track, but beneath the powerful voice of Macie Stewart is a band doing their best to bring out the group’s rocking aesthetic. If you turn the mix another way, this track could easily break through some speakers. Enjoy your Friday good vibes.

Indie Rock With Blues Roots From Marrow

unnamed (1)Marrow are a four piece from Chicago who have recently been branching beyond their hometown and gaining traction in the indie-sphere. When you listen to this song, “The Gold Standard,” you’ll see why that is. The band begins with the delicate dual male/female vocals and some meandering guitar, and then brings up the energy for a track that is half simmering indie rock and then all out alternative jam with folksy/bluesy roots. Give it a listen or two.
