Black Marble plays Newtown Radio party with Widowspeak on 04.21

Sometimes I wonder if Brooklyn is really so depressing… Yeah because these days it seems to inspire hordes of really dark and hopeless-sounding bands – like Black Marble. Don’t get me wrong, I grew up listening to this kind of music and love it, I’m just surprised by the sheer amount of it that this wonderful neighborhood is capable of producing. So… if you happen to feel like you had a little too much happiness lately, we recommend you check out this duo, who seem to reference some of the darkest early post punk bands of the 80s, like The Cure and Joy Division. The band released a 5 song EP in January and will be performing at the Newtown Radio party with Widowspeak on 04.21 at 319 Scholes.
