Black Marble's debut EP Weight Against the Door made the Brooklyn duo a fixture in darkwave circles. Less than ten months later, bedroom producers Chris Stewart and Ty Kube return with A Different Arrangement - a full-length that trades coldwave formalism for something warmer and more expansive.The record ranges widely: Peter Hook-inspired basslines weave through radiant synth ebullience (""A Great Design""), haunted playground-bop (""Limitations""), and otherworldly sound sculpture (""Last""). The influence of synth pioneers Thomas Leer and Robert Rental is felt throughout, as is the duo's hard-line DIY ethos. ""A certain handmade feeling is what we're after,"" says Stewart. ""It's important to carry someresidue of the process... It's humanizing."" A Different Arrangement is a striking evolution - the moment the radiator sputters to life after a long, cold night.
