To say CO.WAR.DICE is long-awaited is to state the obvious, because Marmozets fans have been waiting for eight years. An entire pandemic happened during that time. Vocalist Becca McIntyre is now Becca Bottomley, as she and guitarist Jack got married and became parents, but they somehow found the time to write a thrilling new record.
Opener A Kiss From A Mother arrives with a whistled intro reminiscent of a spaghetti western. The chorus is frantic and fuzzy, and the whole thing ascends to a brilliantly hysterical crescendo. You just know it’ll be a lot of fun live. There are many electro influences woven throughout CO.WAR.DICE, from the indie-scuzz nostalgia of New York to the frenetic Cut Back. The latter is on a mission to make you dance, with what sounds like an arcade on the fritz for an intro.
