On The Loop: Mar

Mar

Album: The Silence (2007)

Just amazing music for all of you daydream junkies! Allow Mar - the band, to pull you by the eyelids and take you to transcend your waking life and into a lucid, heroin-shot, post-rock, post-urbandepressive trip.  the group itself, quite esoteric by a shade, renders to you their contemporary sound straight from the  Land of Fire and Ice (Iceland). Mar is laid out by a group of tasty musicians put together by Kyle Reidy in 2003, creating awesome sounds even in collaboration with folks from some well-known music groups like múm and Sigur Rós.

The lovely band's name may be ambiguous to two other bands: (1) a Netherlands-based Neo-soul singer. (2) and one from Columbia, Missouri that is of the noise-rock/sludge rock genre.

Fall in love with the music that makes you feel like you've just survived a murder case. A rebirth scenario from a hopeless one. Burning-truck-tires-outside-a-desolate-warehouse kind of feel, post-apocalyptic even. Mar's sound may also be reminiscent of  the Deftones (eerily) at certain songs like ''The Liar'' off their album ''The Silence.'' 

Take the time and come listen to Mar for a soundtrack to your daydreaming regimen and enjoy. Peace.
