A marionette ID-ről volt már szó, amikor a God is an Astronaut előzenekaraként láttam őket. Nemrég jelent meg az új albumuk, a kicsit melankolikusabban és kidolgozottabban hangzó Alluvion. Ennek örömére a Kultblog készített velük részletes interjút. A lemezt meg meg lehet hallgatni streamelve itt, vagy kevés pénzért hozzájutni Bandcampen. Illetve az első szám, a Serenity, ingyen letölthető a Soundcloudról.

This May they released a 10-track full-length album titled We Like Cake And Beards And Stuff which costs only ₤6 on Bandcamp to own. Alternatively you can listen to the witty lyrics and ukulele here. (If you buy the whole album you get an ultra special otherwise impossible to acquire version of Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok” called “Spit Spot”.)
For me the best act of this year’s Sziget Festival was definitely Marina & The Diamonds. On her 2010 tour she covered 3OH!3′s Starstrukk and subsequently offered it as a free download as a little present.
