Marmalakes just released a new EP entitled In Arnica. I’m extremely excited, because I’m a big fan of this folk-pop outfit from Austin, Texas. They took the EP of the year award 2011 and after the first half a dozen spins of In Arnica, it’s rather safe to say that they have a good chance of reclaiming the title. They have a perfect melodic sense and they have the ability to write intriguing lyrics. And most importantly, the vocals and the harmonies are always heavenly beautiful. They should be huge. This is Septimus Warren Smith from the new EP. You can stream/buy the whole thing on their bandcamp.

I wrote a couple of words about Chase Weinacht’s two great solo albums back in june. Now his band Marmalakes has released a new EP entitled Even Clothed and oh my.. this is even better. I’m becoming seriously addicted to the music these guys make. This young band from Austin, TX is capable of writing really amazing folk-pop songs that contain beautiful, delicate harmonies and colourful arrangements. I’m totally loving this. For example this last song of the EP Balmorhea is mindblowingly brilliant. Listen to it below and check out the whole EP on their bandcamp. If I still wrote reviews, I think this would get full five hearts.
