Marah, If You Didn’t Laugh You’d Cry (Yep Roc).

So here you are… If You Didn’t Laugh, You’d Cry. The fifth Marah album. Produced by us in a NYC studio and a Brooklyn kitchen, it’s a record of music we taught the boys in the morning, and then recorded in one to three takes in the afternoon. Spontaneous as all hell, you can probably taste the strong studio coffee pumping through our veins as we cut “Fat Boy”. Hell, I bet you can even get a drag off the cigarette dangling from my brother’s lips as we blasted through “The Demon of White Sadness,” “The Closer,” or “Sooner Or Later,” all on the first take. Up, down, all over the musical map, we wanted to create a record that could be tender and cool one minute, skittish and spazzy the next. Hopefully, by the time you reach “The Apartment” at the album’s close you’ll feel as worn out, nervous and strangely alive as I did the night we cut that one. –Serge Bielanko (Source: Marah)
