"...a wonderful array of melodically rich songs, never lacking in hooks or fresh ideas." - Mike Mineo, Obscure Sound
"...from clever chord progressions to the use of Wurlitzer, trumpet, Mellotron samples, and even a string section [Mariage Blanc] create a full studio sound reminiscent of both '60s pop (Beatles, Zombies) and '70s production bombast (Electric Light Orchestra)." - Manny Theiner, Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"...music-supervisor-friendliness, as well as the kind of lush orchestration and arrangement suited to the era of Arcade Fires, Polyphonic Sprees and Broken Social Scenes, make Broken Record a very promising debut." - Aaron Jentzen, Pittsburgh City Paper
Formed in late 2007, Mariage Blanc is a six piece indie-pop band based in Pittsburgh, PA. After several months of shows, the band recorded their debut EP, Broken Record, in the summer of 2008. This self-produced and self-released effort has seen overwhelmingly positive reviews by both local and national media.
Since releasing Broken Record, Mariage Blanc has shared the stage with acts such as Ra Ra Riot,The Little Ones, Say Hi, Telekinesis!, Cloud Cult, The Carribbean, The Spinto Band and Bart Davenport. The band is currently gearing up to record their first LP.
