Marmoset is an American indie rock band based in Indianapolis, Indiana. [1] [2] The band was formed in 1995. [3]
Marmoset's members are Jorma Whittaker (bass and vocals), Dave Jablonski (guitar and vocals), and Jason Cavan (drums). Frequent contributor and former full-time member LonPaul Ellrich died in 2008. [4] The vinyl repressing of the album Record in Red is dedicated to his memory. [5]
Marmoset has multiple releases on the Secretly Canadian label. [6] In 2009, Marmoset signed to Joyful Noise Recordings. [7]
In a review of Florist Fired, Pitchfork called the band "one of Secretly Canadian's first and finest discoveries." [8] In its 4-star review, AllMusic wrote that Today It's You is "reminiscent of indie-rock in the early 1980s -- touches of the occasionally dark, Velvet Underground-influenced jangle of the Feelies, Mission of Burma, the less cutesy work of the Television Personalities, even the later work of Wire." [9] The Austin Chronicle wrote that "the jarring, twisted sensibilities of Indianapolis' Marmoset embody the best qualities of early Sebadoh, halting time and dissonant guitars building a teetering jungle-gym for Jorma Whitaker's odd, brown-paper-bag vocals." [10] Tiny Mix Tapes panned Tea Torndao, writing that "no display of intellectual gymnastics can redeem a collection of pop songs as joyless as this." [3]
Exclaim! deemed The Record In Red to be one of the best records of 2001. [11] Indianapolis paper NUVO wrote that the band "could be considered local legends." [12]
