marcel
marcel make a scene with their mishmash of indie/post-punk songs, inviting the audience to meditate on the ways in which we can sabotage the civilized world as well as on the profound mystery of the human spirit, all set to a soundtrack of Brazilian whistles, darbuka, kazoo, and other bizarre antics. Come and see marcel, it’s like your yearly local village fair: both thrilling and frightening at the same time.marcel is a carnival ghost who likes to make a lot of noise by tenderly rubbing his cheeks on humans. Like a lame cat with cymbals attached to its tail, marcel is unbearable but strangely likable. marcel’s music owes as much to Jonathan Richman as to Steven Gerrard’s powerful strikes; to Sonic Youth’s twisted guitars as to German expressionist painting; to the silly cartoons of their adolescence as to pre-Socratic philosophy.
