{"product_id":"black-marble-a-different-arrangement-colored","title":"Black Marble - A Different Arrangement [Colored]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlack Marble's A Different Arrangement returns on colored vinyl, a cool, shadowy debut from 2012 that still sounds like the city at three in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe project began in Brooklyn as a duo of Chris Stewart and Ty Kube, two synth devotees drawn to the clipped drum machines and frosted melodies of early eighties post-punk. Released on Hardly Art, their first full-length took those influences and made them feel intimate and current, a bedroom-scale record with a dancefloor heartbeat. Stewart has since carried Black Marble on as a solo project from Los Angeles, but this is where the sound took shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A Great Design\" is a standout, all loping bass, chilly synths and a half-buried vocal drifting just out of reach. \"MSQ No-Extra\" leans harder into the drum machine, while the title track and \"Safe Minds\" find a melancholy warmth beneath all that cold machinery, the kind of melody that lingers long after the needle lifts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything is deliberately hazy and lo-fi, but never sloppy. The songs are tightly built and quietly hypnotic, rewarding late-night, headphones-on listening.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fans of New Order, Cold Cave or the darker corners of synth-pop, this reissue is a welcome chance to own a modern cult favourite on wax.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67758045495586,"sku":"098787306354","price":12.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Black_Marble-A_Different_Arrangement_Colored.jpg?v=1794295990","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/black-marble-a-different-arrangement-colored","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
