Check out our review of Balf Quarry in our Stuff We Like blog.
2009, Drag City
VINYL FORMAT. Balf Quarry is the an all-new album-length piece of the puzzle from Magik Markers. Long known for their shattering live appearances, Magik Markers put together really hot albums too - like Balf Quarry. 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 showers of hardcore, high flying free-duo style and several clinking music boxes of woe as well. On slower tunes, the mass of brooding guitar tone generated is Elisa's signature, a carving all of her own. Fills, licks and other touches move the songs a broken arm's length away from a fundament of chaos and horror.
