Marmozets have received quite a reaction with their EP, Passive Aggressive. It’s not surprising. Who wouldn’t be excited about getting five tracks of sheer musical genius for absolutely free? It won’t be long until fans everywhere are yelling “Marmozets gave away a CD for free?! I’m so jealous!”
Opening track, Collisions, gives a perfect intro. It’s a faultless showcase of their instrumental ability and instantly gets the head banging. Thanks for that adrenaline impulse can be sent to Josh Macintyre whose extreme drumming talent is one of the instantly noticeable aspects of the EP. A word of warning, listen with caution because that head banging won’t stop until you break yourself away from this EP, and that will take a very long time.
That drumming is given nice character with intricate, clever and unique guitar tracks which may well become the Marmozets trademark.
Just when you think that there isn’t possibly anything more that this band could pull out of the bag, it happens. There is only one word to describe the vocals on Passive Aggressive and that word is, sublime. Becca Macintyre’s raspy and raw tones give well crafted lyrics something that is very different to other female fronted bands. She adds to the increasingly growing group of women who are proving that they are serious contenders in the world of rock.
Back to Blackout, is an absolute gem of a track with another world class intro brilliantly sculpted for the stage. It conjures up the images of screaming crowds and vicious fist thumping which can make the best live show.
If this is what Marmozets are producing now then it’s hard to imagine what they will come out with next. It’s a superbly made EP that may be hard to follow, but there’s no doubt that Marmozets are up to that challenge.
