A mainstay of the Aberdeen music scene for a number of
years, Marionettes bring with them a perpetually happy-sounding brand of upbeat
indie-pop, and their latest single, The Garden
Song, certainly doesn’t disappoint.
The Garden Song is
classic Marionettes fare: at just over two and a half minutes, it’s a chirpy
nugget of guitar pop that nicely teases their as-yet-unnamed forthcoming debut
album. Backed by a solid rhythm section, the track barrels along at a steady
pace; the guitars are urgent and melodic, and frontman Paddy Buchanan’s vocals flit
happily across the music. Without question, this is one of the band’s most
accomplished recordings to date, thanks in part to their increasing skill as
songwriters and also to Matt Morris’ superb production.
While past Marionettes releases have seemed a little
restrained, not quite matching their live ferocity, The Garden Song sees that urgency captured on record and bodes well for
the upcoming full-length.
The Garden Song by Marionettes is out on the
1st of July, and will be available as a free download.
