Praise for “R&S / Cedars:”

“R&S / Cedars trumps the name game by oscillating its own contained – and tantalizingly brief – sound environment. Born out of dub-step’s generous negative space, “R&S” blossoms into a meditative excursion, merging thick bass with hopeful keys that pass like sun-rays along the wall. “Water Drumming” and “Cedars” take Marley Carroll’s contemplative locations to quicker tempos, utilizing a beautiful collage of rain, natural percussion and drone on the former. The cut-up vocals that nonsensically chatter through “Cedars” don’t hurt the track per se, but they swing the listener’s attention from its gorgeous background haze to the club-oriented artifice that screams 2012. To be clear, creating a sound for 2012 isn’t necessarily a bad thing but when R&S / Cedars has spent its majority sounding like a luxurious bamboo forest entirely devoid of time and trend, well, you can’t really put a name on that.” – Skeleton Crew Quarterly

“Short vocal snippets and a simple synthline pepper the tune, but the song’s allure isn’t so much in the notes as in the spaces between them.” – XLR8R

Praise:

“Marley Carroll is connoiseur of groove, a tastemaker with a diverse palette and great attention to detail. Gifted in the dark arts of composition, production and turntablism… Marley Carroll is a veteran in the making.”
Emancipator

“Marley Carroll, a wizard of voice, electronics and indie electro charm. His music is full of emotion and tight on the dance floor.”
Tommy Cappell of Beats Antique

“Marley Carroll manages to make beautiful music that doesn’t at all sound like to workings of one person.”
Blockhead

“Listening to Marley Carroll sounds like having fun with a new friend who’s triple jointed! What a thrill!!”
Beans

“I listen to way too much music and I still haven’t found someone that makes music like Marley Carroll…  all of his pieces contain 100% heart and 0% ego… If you like music that is going to grab at your soul equally as much as it will inform your musical mind, please take a listen to Marley Carroll.”
Zane Carney of Carney

“Marley Carroll makes music that manages to feel both very delicate and forceful at once… His live shows are rich, full and urgent—full of improvisation, and surprising to see emerge from such a contained visual source. Very exciting to see and hear, and inspiring, in all forms.”
Eric Lindley (Careful)
