Out now: Marching Band – ‘Spark Large’

‘Spark Large’ is het debuutalbum van Marching Band (het Zweedse duo Erik Sunbring en Jacob Lind) dat uitblinkt in melodieuze liedjes met meerstemmige pakkende refreintjes die zich al snel in je hoofd nestelen. En op 30 maart komt dit album uit in Nederland op Excelsior Recordings. De band speelde al op Eursosonic en 3 shows op het prestigieuze SXSW festival in Texas. De indiepop, in geheel eigen stijl door gebruik van o.a. marimbas, vibrafoon en electronica werd in de U.S.A. al zeer enthousiast ontvangen;

SATURDAY NIGHT MAGAZINE: “Swedish duo Erik Sunbring and Jacob Lind are less about trumpets and more about creating contemporary melodic indie with some 60s/70s harmonies that will put a smile on your face.”
ROLLING STOME says this ‘Swedish duo crafts pillowy pop, brightened with bands of psychedelia”.
PITCHFORK, “This duo of Erik Sunbring and Jacob Lind play low-key, folk touched indie pop [they] trade high, close harmonies and reassuring words over a warm, slightly ramshackle backing of acoustic guitar, piano, drums, and light electronic effects, like the Shins sliding down better-fitting chutes”.
BILBOARD, “[Spark Large] is chock-full of luscious melodies and arrangements”.

Marching Band speelt 11 april op Motel Mozaique in Rotterdam en op 12 april in het Amsterdamse Paradiso.
