If you’ve never heard of the band Black Marble, that should change, and today’s as good a day as any for that to happen, because their new album, “Life in Small Spaces,” was just released on Sacred Bones.
Since I first discovered the band in 2012, when they released their debut album, “A Different Arrangement” on Sub Pop’s sister label, Hardly Art, I’ve followed them from release to release and label to label as they hopped from Hardly Art to Ghostly to, as of 2019’s “Bigger Than Life,” Sacred Bones. And as each of their five full-length albums replaced their previous as my new favorite record, I’ve been consistently surprised that more people aren’t constantly talking about this band and how amazing they are. And by “they,” I mean Chris Stewart, who is the man behind the marble, as it were.
