Marmoset, an Indiana band thats been around in the cult scene for almost 14 years, finally breaks out with their simplistic pop release, Tea Tornado. The songs follow a 2-minute pop song structure, but still hold unique aspects, including the dominant dark, ominous vocals. I really like the way their label put it, “Tea Tornado is too strange to be punk, too free of pretension to be psychedelic or glam, but it’s filled with moments that conjure up each of these genres. Marmoset’s songs deal in dark love, modern confusion, drug haze, poetic nightmares, and melancholy melodies.” That’s better than I could ever put it.
