MARMOZETS – CO.War.dice. – Album review
The return of Marmozets has been greatly received by those that had them pegged for big things around their two albums in the mid-2010’s.
A band who have had to overcome plenty of obstacles in their career, the wait for album number three has been an arduous journey, but also one with that has seen them able to grow their family. Eight years though is a long time between releases, so how does ‘CO.WAR.DICE.’ stack up to their early work?
Many after all clammer for the weird and wonderful chaos of their debut album compared to the more straightforward sound of their sophomore record. Well, the deeper this new collection progresses the more you sense that album number three is a genuine mix of the two – a controlled chaos.
WATCH THE VIDEO FOR ‘A KISS FROM A MOTHER’
Frontloaded with pre-release singles ‘A Kiss From A Mother’, ‘New York’, ‘Cut Back’ and ‘Running With The Sun In Your Eyes’, the first half of the album gives a warming familiarity. The band then begin to stretch their legs again with the second half of the album becoming much more eclectic.
The likes of ‘Dandy’ and ‘Flowerz’ show the more tender side of the band, whilst ‘Mes Désirs’ shows they can still write big arena rock songs just fine.
The album reaches its finale with the seven or so minute epic, ‘Keep Going Darling’, which simply encapsulates the album itself so well.
‘CO.WAR.DICE.’ delivers in all the ways that it needs to. To go with a title that feels rather What3Words like, we’d call it, Eclectic.Frenetic.Ambitious.
