about

Jason Carty and Jodie Cox, both prolific members of the London math rock scene in the late '90s up to the early '00s, originally met on stage when playing in their very first bands, respectively Geiger Counter and Ursa, later on associated with the independent record label House of Stairs. However, as the scene gradually receded, they went their separate ways and nearly fell out of touch for over a decade. While Jodie formed Bullet Union and Exes, and collaborated with a range of outfits, including Narrows, Earth and, most recently, Sex Swing, Jason co-founded Foe, joined up with Art of Burning Water, studied music composition and tried his hand at writing for dance and theatre. Eventually, their paths crossed again, this time leading to a close collaboration which, interestingly enough, represents the first instance they have ever played together. As Markers, these two seasoned musicians set out to conquer a completely new territory. Opting to reject the protective shield of the hard rock formula left them utterly exposed, as they pinned all their faith on the primordial power of strings plucked by a human hand. This project is an expression of their deeply seated need to challenge themselves in their natural inclinations through a radical departure from genre music and an attempt to exploit more nuanced musical realms, along with less obvious aspects of their artistic personalities. Having stripped their sound to the bare minimum by eliminating vocals and rhythm section, they are compelled to focus on every single note produced by their instruments. That, in turn, enables them to discover a whole new range of structural possibilities and, ultimately, achieve a higher degree of emotional expression

There must be something magnetic that inexorably draws me into this thick chunk of noise, sweat, riffs, distortion, mud, repetitions, screams, psychedelia, and dirt. Something magnetic. And I have always been attracted to magnetism. muschiosauro

Great LP overall but Donovan’s Daughters is just one of my favourite tracks of all time. I can listen to that one on repeat for hours! Buzzario
