"Oakland, California’s Marbled Eye re-enters the plot with their latest offering Forever. Formed in the Bay Area in 2016 by Guitarists Chris Natividad, Michael Lucero, drummer Alex Shen, and bassist Andrew Oswald, Marbled Eye swiftly recorded their first 2 EP’s and began touring the US garnering notoriety for their propulsive post-punk music. Stylized by deadpan vocals, linear and tight rhythms, and tangled, angular guitar ingenuity, Marbled Eye are a fierce addition to the turntable for lovers of bands like The Fall, ECSR, and This Heat. In 2018, the group self-recorded and released their debut LP Leisure- a highly coveted album by burgeoning punks and record-heads alike. From there, Marbled Eye extensively toured the US and Europe earning recognition as a palpable live force. Building up to their next release, Andrew Oswald left Marbled Eye and was replaced by Digital Regress operator, Ronald Portugal. In 2024, with the addition of Portugal’s methodical bass-work, Marbled Eye conjured their latest LP Read The Air, a modern cornerstone for fans of contemporaries Institute, Uranium Club, and RMFC. Now, The group has aligned to release their new 6-song 12” EP, Forever- A hopeful nod for the future of punk rippers Marbled Eye."With Forever, Marbled Eye carves a deeper path along their singular journey into the future of punk.

Digital Regress

"Oakland-based post-punks Marbled Eye have been blowing minds and smashing worlds with their astute riffing, masterfully tight rhythm section, and memorable hooks since they released their first two EPs in 2016 and 2017. Since then, the band has gone on to release two stellar full-length records and tour the US and the EU extensively. For the first time since their original releases, these artifacts are being re-released together on one 12”. EP I and EP II contain some of the most memorable Marbled Eye hooks and progressions, forming songs like “Primrose,” “Oddity,” “Former,” “Feast,” and “Objects”—though every song is a singular hit. Marbled Eye’s dueling guitarists and vocalists, Chris Natividad and Michael Lucero, expertly craft intricate guitar tangles as they trade deadpan vocal hooks. Bass player Andrew Oswald pummels through the songs with precise and heavy downstrokes, while drummer Alex Shen muscles through tight grooves, adding tasteful syncopation. Together, these elements put Marbled Eye at the top of their class, producing some of the genre’s most interesting music. Informed by bands like Joy Division, Television, and Total Control, Marbled Eye understand the necessity of big hooks and deliver them song after song. This release will be coveted by those who already own the first 2 LPs, or the perfect start for the new Marbled Eye record collector—Don’t sleep." -- Sims Harden
