givemeasmile Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Hey everyone, how do?Just finished recording for the first time in over a year and came up with a few new songs for ya'll to hear.Marionettes on MySpace Music - Free Streaming MP3s, Pictures & Music DownloadsThe first one is on our myspace called "Forget The Gap", recorded in our very own guitarist's bedroom and to coin a phrase, "we're affa proud of it".So it's a bedroom recording and the first one done with our new line up in place, will be good to hear what you think in comparison to our older stuff as we have a view to release something in the not too distant future.Gee it a listen and post here with your feedback it's all welcomed!CheersMarionettes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltz Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I have to admit, it took me quite a while to warm to you guys, but now I have I'm a bit hooked. A dirtier, bassier keyboard part would make 'Forget the Gap' a bit beefier, if that makes anything near sense.Impressive stuff. And you put one of my quotes on your myspace, you guys are making me blush... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aekido Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I know your myspace already, but, you should edit in the link for those unfamilar edit: bet me to the punch, i'll go have a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 I like this song. It's dancy an' as frenetic and catchy as I'd expect it to be.The synth part is good, but the tone needs altered as Euan said. Id' like to hear it a bit squelchier.Pretty great for a bedroom recording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Really, really liking this dudes.It's typical Marionettes, but slightly more mature, which makes sense because you're a bit older...Looking forward to hearing the rest of the new tunes.EDIT: This sounds amazing for being recorded in a fucking bedroom. Can we record our new EP in your bedroom too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runcie Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Yeah I'd be well up fro recording you guys. My interface is shit so the drums'd have to be done on Roland V-drums. We got them sounding pretty fat though. Give us a shout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted February 14, 2010 Report Share Posted February 14, 2010 Aye it is decent like. I like the voice actually, very rock and roll! We're playing with you guys on Thursday by the way; get your pals to come early for our set as we don't have any... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gladstone Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Hey everyone, Just put up another recording from the Runcie bedroom sessions.Any more feedback would be great, also we have no idea why it's called "Dora".....it just is.This is the song I was trying to tell you I really liked at the Drummonds gig. "Wasting time" was the repeated phrase I couldn't remember.I really like this song - it does sound much better live though in my opinion. There's something a bit strange about the vocal on the recording. Can't put my finger on it - it doesn't actually sound like Paddy singing, which is weird.The song is fucking great though.

Stichman Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Dora is some tune. I love this sound that you've honed, with that sort of slightly filthy, scuzzy, dancey indie quality. It's good stuff. It's been blaaaady ages since I've seen you live, I'll have to get on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon Posted May 8, 2010 Report Share Posted May 8, 2010 I'm a fan (but you knew that already!). I reckon these new songs sound really good.Have you guys heard of a band called The Vivians? These sound like the songs they couldn't quite manage to write. I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
