| may 2009 release ; drag city debut from magik markers, now a duo consisting of pete nolan (who also moonlights in ghq & solo as spectre fone) & elisa ambrogio (ditto six organs of admittance) ...
was worried about the pair getting into some more linear zones w/ the dc hookup, pleased to report that the zonk is still very much intact, even if a track such as the almost jon spencer-esque “don't talk in your sleep” brings out the band’s latent go-go tendencies (listen to the sound-sample) ... |

balf quarry
dc376 lp/cd
balf quarry, an old stone pit just outside of hartford, connecticut, represents a central place for elisa ambrogio and pete nolan, the duo who call themselves magik markers, and is the apt title of their forthcoming may drag city release.
unearthed from the mines of connecticut in 2001, magik markers have been brutalizing audiences with their shattering live appearances and recordings since the first part of this century. they are now living and creating on opposite sides of the country. elisa ambrogio recently moved to seattle from san francisco and pete nolan resides in brooklyn, but they came together in elisa's new city to record balf quarry with scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, sir richard bishop).
balf quarry has moody space in its soul, and on this album you'll find elisa and pete locked together, beating it out, listening to and feeling the sound of their earth quake. and slicing through all the atmosphere, elisa's voice is a spear of light, splashes of mud, and an acid purple flashback.
listening to balf quarry is like immersing yourself in a great horror film, complete with mental dissipation, catharsis for the ears, and the most satisfying psychotic listening experience you'll have this year. |
