'[Signed] The only band you've ever truly loved, MARAH'
For the first time in seemingly Internet forever, Marah has a new song to download, Put 'Em in the Graveyard. It sounds muddy and unedited in a variety of ways but is better than radio silence, and I hope there's more to come. The title of this post comes from the promotional e-mail, and the passage below comes from the site (home of the download).
Considering it's been such a long time since we shared a song and dance together we wanna put this out there for y'all…something new to enjoy and discuss while we wait for the other shoe to drop. We also promise that your $contribution will not be blown in some smoky pub but will aid us greatly in bringing a lot more "unreleased" Marah music into the world this year. Think of the mix tape possibilities.
"Put 'em in the Graveyard" is not a "single" in the "Love is a Battlefield", "Shock The Monkey" kinda way, but merely a new song we are quietly and independently "making available" now due to the timely Halloweenish connotation of its title. Get it?
Lyric bests include Billy Ripken and Bonilla cards and a hater shoutout: Gimme a lily for all the Kids in Philly, penny the eyes of my old albatross / And see their dames are lying there right beside 'em when the circling vultures swoop down to their cross / Like endless lovers of a silent fraud, they're birds of a feather, by God … Put 'em in the Graveyard.
