RecommendLeigh Marble is one boy with a memory that never forgets. Now if only he’d be allowed on pop radio, more people would benefit from his recall. From the “Dead Flowers� chord progressions of “Killed Instantly� to the stop-the-car-and-just-fucking-listen frankness of “Pale Blue� (which would ave fit perfectly on Sister Lovers right before “Holocaust�), Marble mines love gone bad and sex without healing, with spare guitar, harp, and the occasional fretless bass and sound effect. On this debut, his lyrics tend to the pissed, with barely hidden anguish; his lo-fi hits home like a country radio station gone static at the best line in the song. This is a keeper, and thankfully restores confession to its honorable place. Emo turned honesty into a sorry-ass diary entry; Leigh Marble has some stories to spit out.
