Doo Wop
She's Wearing Rings

Marmoset is back and weirder than ever! Utilizing their signature blend of minimal post punk, Marmoset have crafted a brand new single and b-side: "Doo Wop" and "She's Wearing Rings". Available in digital and (extremely) limited edition, hand-numbered cassettes, this "cassingle" is a teaser for the band's upcoming fifth studio album "Sour Notebook".

Fans of the off the wall, playful sound of Marmoset will find themselves right at home with this single. "Doo Wop" features a sassy Jorma Whittaker in the vein of a demented soul-singer; the psycho-sexual delivery of his vocal lines made ever more complex by the background horns and occasional dissonant chords. Accompanying "Doo Wop" is an upcoming fan favorite, "She's Wearing Rings" - a wonderful but ridiculous song about wearing rings and then taking them off again. Listen to the 1:18 wimper/cry/laugh for evidence of further ridiculousness/creepiness.

Limited to just 100 cassette copies, hand numbered by the band themselves, this is an essential purchase for any Marmoset fans. The digital is free, the hand-numbered cassingle is gonna cost you 4 bones.

"Indiana trio Marmoset has released a couple new songs in anticipation of its upcoming fifth studio album, Sour Notebook. Singles "Doo Wop" and "She's Wearing Rings," which you can download below, reside somewhere between the Velvet Underground and early Pink Floyd weirdness, with plenty of dissonance and dreamy, peculiar lyrics. If you're somehow still adding to your old cassette-tape collection (or just feeling nostalgic), you can buy the "cassingle" for a mere four dollars-but get it soon, because there are only 100 copies, each hand-numbered by the band members themselves."

"Just when you thought they might be inching toward normality, Marmoset throws us a curve-ball dipped in chocolate and acid... Yup, that right there's a cassette-single or as Joyful Noise dubs- "cassingle" to tease an upcoming full length release. They're offering a free download of the songs "Doo Wop" and "She's Wearing Rings" via their site, with the option of purchasing a hand-numbered cassette from the band for $4. There are only 100 copies of the cassette available so we must, indeed, consider this a limited edition."
