In March 2020, as the world was going into lockdown, songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Marlon Bianco found himself with some unexpected free time on his hands. He decided to use it to start a solo project, recording songs on a Roland keyboard toy in his North London home. Drawing inspiration from the empty streets of London and his love of cyberpunk and the city at night, Bianco began writing material that’s dark in its character and eclectic in its execution. Channelling everything from psych-pop to soulful jazz and leftfield electronica, the talented Londoner sparked what would become a very proficient artistic project.
Eventually, Bianco decided to take his endeavour to the next level and record a full-length album. Enlisting the help of Cathy Lucas, singer and producer of Vanishing Twin, he recorded ‘Life in Low-fi’, the project’s first long-length record and its most authentic statement of intent.
Marlon Bianco will be perfoming one more time at the infamous historical underground venue, The Paper Dress (Hackney).
Bringing the sound of the future with his faithful band, The Clones, it’s going to be showtime on the 18th of March for his new single the jazz/psychfunky “Planet Coronet” released via Some Other Planet Records, out on all platforms on the 17th March.
Support by the extraterrestrials Gloop Unit and Kombu Nori.
