MySpace a place for friends

From the provocative saunter of 'In The Afterglow', via the requiem-esque 'Divide In Silence', the snake-charmer's swagger of 'Nine Times Beautiful', and the deceptively-innocent lilt of 'You'll Never Fall', to the full-on prog assault of 'In Dark, In Light', this is a dark affair through-and-through, which, while still retaining much of its predecessor's melancholy, barely surfaces from its intense and often dense soundscape.

'Dulcima' was written and recorded simultaneously, over the course of seven months, in Trondheim, London and New York. The city atmosphere was an important influence in these songs, as they helped to harness the urgency that Marsh wanted to capture. Another important facet of this album is that, like his debut, many of the songs feature elements from the initial demo recordings. It's this spontaneity and energy that further sets 'Dulcima' away from its peers.

Alongside his long-standing rhythm section of Jo Fougner Skaansar (double bass) and Takashi Mori (drums), this album also features the heavy-handed help of Mattias Olsson (Änglagård), Ketil Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist), Trude Eidtang (White Willow) and Lars Fredrik Frøislie (Wobbler).

'Dulcima' comes in a beautiful digipak, complete with lyrics, and is available to pre-order now, from Burning Shed.

“Melancholic and complex music, filled with unexpected chord progressions, rich layers of Mellotron and emotionally-loaded vocals.”
Norway Rock Magazine

“It may challenge your idea of what progressive music should sound like.”
Tarkus Magazine

“A beautiful auburn empire.”
DotShop.se

“A dreamy slice of progressive pop that doesn’t sound quite like anything else we’ve heard in a long time.”
Popsicle

“Inspiring and gorgeous, albeit heartbreaking, classical-countered sophisticated pop. A dizzying spectacle of spell-woven beauty...”
Losing Today

“Nick Drake is the obvious touchstone here, but Marsh doesn’t sound like a clone. Instead, like kindred spirit Eric Matthews, Marsh is an unabashed fan of the same shimmering folk/pop sound and wants to adapt to the 21st century. Based on this beautiful record, he’s succeeded handily.”
The Big Takeover

“This music is dream-like and melancholy. The songs approach you quietly, yet their resonance casts a spell. It's a mixture of magical, touching, somewhat off-beat and yet, despite pop elements, anything but simplistic...”
Nonpop

“‘The Fragile Of Inbetween’ is sophisticated pop-prog at its best. It is a charming and great album, which in its field, stands like a monolith and supersedes most of what we have heard in the past years.”
Merlin Prog

“These songs rise from near-silence to a full-on assault of the senses within a heartbeat, then curl up again in a sea of melancholy.”
BBC Radio 6

“A modern progressive tour de force, full of darkness and beauty.”
Decoded

“The year's autumn soundtrack.”
