“In Peoples’ Homes” is a somewhat misleading introduction to To Kill A Petty Bourgeoisie’s second album Marlone, but as we mentioned when we called the Minneapolis duo a BTW, Jehna Wilheim and Mark McGee are good at smashing expectations. So, no, you shouldn’t leave thinking all of Marlone‘s 10 tracks are sweet, upbeat 2-minute pop songs, because most are five-plus minute icy, shimmering, ambient, distorted, clanging, and haunted Portisheaded excursions that have a different way of locating their hooks. The group recently toured with dark folk labelmates Boduf Songs and are currently finalizing some Marlon videos. It’s hard to tell what’s happening in the cover art, but this is what’s happening here:
Marlon is out 9/21 via Kranky.

The cover looks like a dog scratching himself!
I discovered this band a couple of weeks back on last.fm radio and was very intrigued. Another one for the list.
i never even knew that they moved from Richmond.
same with Labradford.
Love it.
jehna wilhem left the group..
she might be back, but i wouldn’t count on it.
thats not for certain.
rumors…….
That rumor sucks.
Cover looks like a Border Collie tried to scan its own bum, maybe as a prank?
I think it’s a skunk sitting on a photocopier.
Nobody here remembers Cat Scan .com from back in the day?
I can hardly wait to hear this record.
I would like to add that I got their album and it sounds nothing like this song but IT’S AMAZING.
I love The Patron, I like this song as well. TKaPB, you are on my sight.
