working with engineer scott colburn (sun city girls, animal collective, sir richard bishop), magik markers have captured a lot of different moods and twitches on balf quarry. tremoring mid rhythms form the body, with a couple of showers of hardcore, high flying freeduo style and several clinking music boxes of woe as well. on slower tunes, the mass of brooding guitar tone generated is elisa ambrogios signature, a carving all of her own. fills, licks and other touches move the songs a broken arms length away from a fundament of chaos and horror. elisa ambrogio and pete nolan are locked together, beating it out, feeling the sound of their earth quake. and slicing through all the atmosphere, elisas voice is a spear of light, splashes of mud, an acid purple flashback.
