Black Marble's debut EP Weight Against the Door made the Brooklyn duo a fixture in darkwave circles. Less than ten months later, bedroom producers Chris Stewart and Ty Kube return with A Different Arrangement - a full-length that trades coldwave formalism for something warmer and more expansive.The record ranges widely: Peter Hook-inspired basslines weave through radiant synth ebullience ("A Great Design"), haunted playground-bop ("Limitations"), and otherworldly sound sculpture ("Last"). The influence of synth pioneers Thomas Leer and Robert Rental is felt throughout, as is the duo's hard-line DIY ethos. "A certain handmade feeling is what we're after," says Stewart. "It's important to carry someresidue of the process... It's humanizing." A Different Arrangement is a striking evolution - the moment the radiator sputters to life after a long, cold night.
