making marks // a thousand half-truths lp


 
Marking Marks are exposing their tender vulnerable side with the song Bruises. It is a soft-shelled shooting star filled with sweetness in the form of honey tempered vocals, barely there pelting rain-like drums and meandering twangy guitar, and it is all stitched together with cotton candy synths. The conjoined vocals of Nina Bø and Ola Innset are playful, nuanced and a perfect match here and throughout the album.

The band’s debut album A Thousand Half-Truths resonates with a fistful of heartfelt renditions. These are songs and sounds culled from the ever changing contents of the pantry of life, love and living. The songs range from melodies draped lovingly with a silver-lined tensile strewn avoir le cafard, to the bold and clever. All ten songs on the LP just make the ears happy to be ears.

A bit of back story, in a former life the band previously went by the moniker mylittlepony for several years. In 2011 mylittlepony released their album Making Marks and thus the rest his history.
