Quiet Marauder – Comatose but Dreaming

£5.00

BWR030 (DOWNLOAD ONLY)

Quiet Marauder return to ears and eyes with new EP, Comatose But Dreaming. The release of these five new tracks comes with five equally new interrelated music videos, offering complete visual accompaniment. The band’s fondness for the meaningfully off-kilter has long been evidenced by their output. Their opening gambit was an EP charting Alan Shearer’s future life as an omnipresent time traveller. This was then followed by their record-baiting 111-song debut album, MEN, before 2015’s 11 Shades Of Love; each offering its own conceptual take on issues such as gender politics, love and whether moustaches make you manly.

  • Description

Description

Comatose But Dreaming bases itself in a half-real dreamscape, the EP is a loose abstract observation on the events of 2016 and the associated societal disconnection. Band leader Simon M. Read explains the idea:

“We wanted to release something that, while it could exist independently from the videos, has more narrative depth when they are consumed together. A lot of 2016 felt like I was dreaming. It was all thick, viscous, black nightmares of Trump, Brexit and Bowie. So conceptually that’s the idea we ran with, a reflection on how unreal reality sometimes feels”

Visually, the films chart the imaginary, connected path of a comatose man, dreaming his way from event to event while trying to make meaning of what is happening. Sonically, the Quiet Marauder palette has expanded even beyond the chamber-pop-indie of 11 Shades Of Love, incorporating synth, guitar, tenor horn, trumpet, bass, drums and a plethora of haunting harmonies.
