去年發行的《Telling It Like It Is 》以完整六人編制譜出撩撥、踩踏道德邊緣的作品,融合後龐克、Soul充滿詭譎、陰森畫面,無論是美男子的臉蛋、或趾高氣昂故我冷酷作風,都讓少女在危險性感氛圍中尖叫。

Marching Church, the onetime solo project and now bona fide big band formed by singer Elias Bender Rønnenfelt, has followed its leader muse everywhere from their early days of 4-track lo-fi tapes, to Sam Cooke-tinged soul on This World is Not Enough, to outré free jazz on their most recent Coming Down 12". For Telling It Like It Is, Rønnenfelt and his bandmates have foregone much of their past proclivity for wild stylistic swings in favor of thematically unified, complicated, but fundamentally cohesive song arrangements; the studio itself at times acting as an auxiliary band member. The result is the most focused vision of Marching Church yet, but one that has lost none of its swagger, and none of its power to enthrall.
