Description
Refreshingly, for fans of new, experimental rock everywhere, with the Magik Markers the shortest distance between two points is never a straight line. The Magik Markers formed in Hartford, CT, in 2001, featuring new Bay Area-resident, guitarist/vocalist Elisa Ambrogio, drummer Pete Nolan, and bassist Leah Quimby. Inspired by no wave and hardcore, the trio developed a free-rocking sound that made the most of their stream-of-consciousness approach. The Markers' current line-up is a pared down duo of Ambrogio and Nolan.

Extra Life (NYC) weds brutal instrumental abstraction with the ancient popular art of monophonic song. The hands channel their technological violence through a convulsive hopscotch while the mouth seduces the air with its primitive kiss. Includes ex-members of Zs and Dirty Projectors.
