b.l.a.c.k. m.a.r.b.l.e. - 'i.t.'s. i.m.m.a.t.e.r.i.a.l.' (2016)
california's black marble, a goth pop duo of bass and synths, made the switch to the ghostly international label over from sub pop. the album cover might be my least favorite of any album i have liked thus far in 2016. seriously, that album cover is so bad i almost did not want to deface my site with its ugliness. also, my friend tells me this band sucks live. but guess what, they know how to write a nice pop song. this album is much better than their last one in every way. it has consistently good tunes and is just about fully rideable with only a few duds. nice pleasant inoffensive doing the dishes music. works fine for breastfeeding too.
