Vanishing Twin “Marbles”
“Marbles” is a song about feeling alienated by a language barrier and the difficulty of learning a new language after another is so embedded in your psyche and body that you never think about how it works. This is an interesting idea for a song, particularly one that’s built on a rather mechanical-sounding funk groove. Vanishing Twin conjurs a very spooky and surreal sound here – psychedelic and mysterious, very physical on the low end but cerebral to the point of feeling hopelessly lost in thought on the high end. It’s a very stoned sort of song, but the kind of stoned that has your mind drift out on logical tangents that sidestep regular thought processes.
Buy it from Bandcamp.
