Mariage Blanc
Premiere: “Rag to a Bull” MP3
Oct 20, 2010
Mariage Blanc (French for “white marriage”) is an indie-pop fivesome based in Pittsburgh, PA. Their self-released Broken Record EP hit in 2008 and proved to be a nice introduction to their warm sound. They spent three months in the spring of 2009 transforming a dilapidated warehouse into a practice and recording studio for their debut self-titled LP.
Recording sessions commenced in January of this year, and where beset on all sides by equipment breakdowns, snowstorms, and dissolving master tapes. Six months later they’ve emerged out of their holes with a shining example of pop. Look forward than the jaunty-yet-poignant rocker “Rag to a Bull” for proof. Our exclusive download is above. Also, check out album track “Whatever You Say I Am.” Mariage Blanc streets on November 16. Look for a U.S. tour in late 2010 and 2011. Stay in contact with the band via Facebook and Twitter.
