MARREE MEN
“A cog in the universe shifted somewhere when Alex Paterson (The Orb) and Gaudi reconnected in the studio and created Marree Men!”.
After having worked on many music projects together -including the collaborative album as Screen in 2010, released by Malicious Damage Records, plus a number of remixes and The Orb’s latest 4 albums-, this fearless duo powered by mutual obsessions with dub’s bass-propelled dislocation of the norm, have now hit it again with this brand-new project Marree Men! It was the love for dub/reggae and krautrock that initially brought ambient-electronica pioneer Alex Paterson and international dub maestro Gaudi together, the ever-questing pair bonding over productions and a monumental back-to-back soundclash on the chilled Chewy ChooseDays radio show in London. Last year the pair embarked on the intense series of recording sessions in Gaudi’s studio, which have resulted in a beautiful forthcoming debut album and the first 7in single ‘Mind The Gap’, released on a limited edition transparent yellow Flexi vinyl by Suriya Records / Orbscure Records. Where technology often seems to squeeze the original passion and maverick dambusting spirit out of music, Marree Men have appeared to rough and dub things up, both in homage to this most anarchic musical form, while also plugging into the kind of syncopated creative emotion which fuels great music. To quote Joe Strummer, a cog in the universe shifted somewhere when Alex and Gaudi met in the latter's London studio, putting down beats as the creative collision between them turned into a hyper-sparking particle shower of new music. The spirit of collaboration turns this masterpiece into a two-way odyssey leaving musical barriers as distant specks on the horizon, the afore-mentioned dub pulsing in the lower reaches or splintering violin, played by Annie Gasiorowski.
