In the Beginning

A place far away from everything, yet right around the corner. A vision close enough to touch, yet so far away. Surrounded by keys, hatches, pots, and small fragmented parts, Marbert Rocel lie down, discuss, and dance through the winter of 2015. In this environment, in their studio in Leipzig, the band ties together the songs, which first saw the light of day in a small spot enclosed by woods in the summer of 2014. Each decision goes through every head and each chord is listened to a hundred times, from front to back and in reverse. This is not an album fueled by pompous string arrangements, but by the notion of a consensual nod, which has evolved within Marbert Rocel over the years. In the Beginning is the fourth album by Marbert Rocel. It's a delicately sculpted work with deft percussion and synth pads forming songs that welcome you like good friends. Like Tinker Bell, Spunk's voice guides listeners through this strange, familiar world, moving past big feelings and small gestures to where it all started: In the Beginning.
