"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
