Description

Raw and poignant indie-rock channeled through layered ambiance and programming to deliver a totally unique, fully remastered, must-have LP for fans of alternative music.

Notes

[Bio]:

"Somewhere in the spectrum of experimental indie-rock, there lies Marathon: a style-blending, genre-bending outfit from Central Pennsylvania dedicated to creating music which pushes the envelope. During the indefinite hiatus of their previous progressive/alternative project, chief songwriter Zach Wagner (guitar, vocals) spent a year focusing on songwriting, production, and recording demos in his makeshift bedroom studio. With renewed focus and positive reaction to his demos, Zach decided to develop his solitary project into a full-scale band, adding members Erich Wagner (guitar, vocals, percussion), Robert Battle (bass), Paul Winter (keyboard), and Ricky Kreiser (drums).
Technically proficient, Marathon boasts stellar guitar work both in layering and in lead, with drumming that is both unintrusive and interesting—even unorthodox at times. Dual vocalists Zach and Erich Wagner strike a unique balance between a warm, whisper-like voice and a yearning, more tonal singing that often soars achingly over the landscape below—a landscape which is multileveled with effects and programming, yet neither cluttered nor distracting. Atmospheric and ambient, yet poignant and raw at just the right moments, Marathon develops a vastness of sound without pretension and with unparalleled maturity for such a young band." - Jacob Feld

[Acclaim]:

"A stellar debut from a hugely talented band." - JamSpreader

"This Pennsylvania-based group is delightfully chill, and will take the edge off the roughest of days. Their intricate melodies and hypnotic lyrics, blend a soft indie sound with a harder, prog-rock edge." - Molly Boekenheide, Joonbug

"If you love authentic rock fused with some of the most rich and ambient sounds you'll ever find, then these boys will blow you away." - Zambah

"There are times when other artists allow themselves to be overshadowed by the production of their music. This is never the case here. The artist and the production value compliment each other flawlessly. There's a cohesiveness from start to finish that allows you to immerse yourself in the artistry and get lost in the music. " - MY Indie Music Blog

"Whether it’s their geographic origin near my hometown, or their soft ambient flavored rock stylings, Lebanon, Pennsylvania Indie Rock group, Marathon, hits that special spot for me. An incredibly new group, there’s something whimsically charming about the simplicity of it all." - Label Recruit

"...sometimes I’m terrible at classifying music. I just know what my ears like and if it sounds good to me—and Marathon’s music sounded good to me." - One Fan at a Time

"Overall, Marathon (the album) is a great body of musical work that should be respected and enjoyed by true alternative rock fans. Marathon (the band) definitely has all the right pieces to become one of today's hottest indie/alternative rock bands; great vocals backed by highly skilled and talented musicians." - Shaine Freeman, I Am Entertainment Magazine
