Black Marble – It’s Immaterial (10th anniv, marble vinyl)

Released in 2016, Its Immaterial found Black Marble refining its coldwave and synth-pop foundations into a warmer, more melodic expression of isolation, longing, and quiet resilience. Guided by Chris Stewarts unmistakable baritone and a palette of analog synths, pulsing basslines, and minimalist rhythms, the album feels simultaneously nostalgic and forward-leaning. Its songs drift between shadowy introspection and subtle hope, creating a cinematic atmosphere thats both intimate and hypnotic. With Its Immaterial, Black Marble deepened its signature sound, offering a collection that resonates like a faded memorysoft, hazy, and endlessly replayable.”Melodies twist inward and out of the comfort zone, but never overstep their boundaries or demand extra attention they dont deserve. The fragments that have been found, from beginning to end, click and fall into place almost effortlessly. Its surprising how nothing feels forced.” – Drowned in Sound
