Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

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.

Get the FREE DOWNLOAD of the splish-splashy song Bruises. It is the perfect confessional theme song. I like. I like it a lot.

The debut album A Thousand Half Truths will be released on vinyl, CD and digital on February 2nd 2014 courtesy of Fika Recordings, with a special Japanese CD version available on January 22nd. Check out a 5-song sampling after the jump. Peace.

How many bands can under go a major name change, switch sonic gears and still come out of the other end all pristine and shiny? Well, I’ll answer this question by proclaiming the former Swede band known as My Little Pony has successfully done the Phoenix thing and are now Making Marks. My ears gave their songs, “I Volunteer“, “Ticket Machine” and “Hard To Be Good” the once over and they give ’em two-thumbs up. The band’s debut (Is it still their debut if it’s just a name change?) single “Ticket Machine” will drop via Fika Recording October 2012 on 7″ vinyl.   Check them out and let me know what you think. Peace.
