Not a band per se, the Marbles is the alias of singer/songwriter Robert Schneider, better known as the frontman of the Apples in Stereo.
Originally a four-track solo project, the Marbles began in March 1992 in the Denver, Colorado apartment Schneider shared with fellow Ruston, Louisiana native and future Olivia Tremor Control founder W. Cullen Hart; primarily a solo project, its sunny pop reflected Schneider's ongoing love of the Beach Boys, incorporating Casios and toy musical instruments into his gentle, guitar-based songs.
A compilation of material entitled "Pyramid Landing and Other Favorites" appeared in 1997 and a much anticipated new record "Expo," mixed by Mark Linnett (Brian Wilson's "Smile"), is being readied for an early 2005 release through SpinART (US) and Trattoria (Japan).
I was going to try to find a style or artist to compare Marbels to but there is none that I could think of all of it had a yesterday sound marbles sounds like now.
