BLACK MARBLE
Black Marble emerged from NYCs cold wave revival scene in the early twenty teens, and released his first full length A Different Arrangement in October of 2012. Signed by Sub Pop imprint Hardly Art after releasing just one song online, Black Marble quickly hit his stride alongside other NYC synth acts like Martial Cantrell Led Er East and Frank (Just) Frank - playing small club shows in the bowels of Manhattan's Lower East side to small but dedicated throngs of in-the-know city kids. Released to wide acclaim, it took Stewart four years to follow it up with 2016s It’s Immaterial. Well received in it’s own right as a worthy successor to the strict, slightly dour and yet catchy formula that seemed to galvanize so quickly with ADA, It’s Immaterial saw Stewart exploring slightly more melodic territory without losing the charm that gave the project its initial momentum.
Comfortable with his place in this lexicon, Fast Idol sees Black Marble face the rising tide of uncertainty with an oblique wink and nod, leaving our future selves to trace its signal as its frequencies echo into an interstellar expanse. He says: "I want my music to stick with you after I leave and I want you to take something from it, even though you might not feel like you've totally unraveled it".
