On September 30th, Black Marble will release their second full-length, It's Immaterial. Their first for Ghostly, It's Immaterial follows up their highly acclaimed debut full-length A Different Arrangement (Hardly Art/October 30, 2012). Still featuring Stewart at the helm along with select collaborators as supplementation, the band's recent shift in locale from East Coast to West Coast lends a great deal to the overall feel of the new album. Pulling from the pre - "Simply Irresistible" days of early Robert Palmer and first wave pioneers such as Silicon Teens, Iron Curtain, Lives of Angels, and Solid Space, Black Marble dialed in on a clear understanding of its own specific sound, showcased most clearly on this new release with Stewart becoming more comfortable in being clear with what he's trying to say, both subjectively, in terms of the stories he’s telling and the things he's willing to talk about, and objectively in terms of the lyrics and upfront vocals, while still experimenting with holding things back to produce a sound more claustrophobic and immediate.
