Their debut album, I Trust My Guitar, Etc... (released in vinyl only), was released in 2005 on Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label. In 2006, they released A Panegyric To The Things I Do Not Understand under Gulcher Records, the Markers' first proper CD. Also in 2006, the band recorded a session for Southern records' Latitudes series, which was released as The Voldoror Dance. Leah Quimby left in May 2006.Various people filled in before they eventually settled as a duo comprised of original members Pete and Elisa. Julie Tomlinson was picked up in 2007 to handle keyboard and bass duties on tour. Their latest album Boss, produced by Lee Ranaldo, was released September 2007http://www.myspace.com/theemagikmarquersReviewshttp://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/45781-boss Pitchfork BOSS review 7.5/10http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/3864 Dusted Magazinehttp://www.tinymixtapes.com/Magik-Markers,4414 Tiny Mix Tapeshttp://www.thespacelab.tv/spaceLAB/2007/11November/MusicReview-01-MagikMarkers.htm SpacelabHUMAN BELL (Thrill Jockey)Dave Heumann and Nathan Bell's gorgeous guitar duets form instrumental canvas painted in the warm colored hues of folk and rock music, and simultaneously a blank canvas for the listeners themselves to paint. Their songs are delicately crafted with an immaculate clarity, expressiveness, and most of all, openness. Nathan Bell has recorded with more than a dozen bands in the last decade. Most known for playing bass in Lungfish from 1996 to 2003, he has also worked with P.W. Long, Mighty Flashlight and Television Hill. Dave Heumann has also played with Cass McCombs, Bonnie Prince Billy and Anomoanon, in addition to his work as leader of Arbouretum. Their official debut album Human Bell was mixed by John McEntire at Soma EMS in Chicago. They have just started a US tour supporting IMP favourites BOREDOMS their debut Triptych dates are going to be special.http://www.myspace.com/humanbellReviewshttp://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/cd_reviews/article3246020.ece Times on line 4/5http://www.dustedmagazine.com/reviews/4060 Dusted Magazine http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=72587 BoomkatKITCHEN CYNICSKitchen Cynics...a riddle wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a buttery. Having been loft-bound for a couple of decades, Alan Davidson began inflicting himself on the listening public in 2003, and has limped stoically onwards ever since. Support slots with the likes of Julian Cope, Terry Reid, the Handsome Family, the Incredible String Band etc have ensued, plus occasional forays to the USA, with three sessions for WFMU, a handful of New York gigs and an appearance at the Terrastock Festival. 2007 saw Kitchen Cynics produce 'a Tune-a-Day' which was exhausting but fun. Now recovered, he's the outsider who's on the way back in." An inspirational performer who connects with audiences with his warm, dry and humorous anecdotes. His live 2008 debut is a fitting way to to start the last Triptych Festival in Aberdeen.http://www.myspace.com/kitchencynics"Music that sounds like its emanating from a very old phonograph, fitting for this sort of moody folk pop impressionism" Ptolemaic Terrascope UK"Often the feeling is like a sort of personal Celtic blues; but there is magic, and deep mystery too."
