The single is released with an artfully nostalgic, celestial lyric video edited by Alana-Marie French.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Stewart shares: \u201c\u2018<em>Ceiling\u2019 is about the persistence of memory and the fear of starting to lose the plot on what\u2019s happening. When you talk to people these days, there&#8217;s a pervasive sense that we\u2019ve lost a sense of shared reality and yet you never hear anyone indict themselves as being responsible. So this song just deals with the paranoia of thinking like, ok, what if it\u2019s not them it&#8217;s me? Or what if it&#8217;s not me now, but inevitably it one day will be? And does it matter? \u2018In silence for the words we leave behind\u2019 is about holding onto meaning, but not any one idea, just the hope that it persists. It&#8217;s a recitation to ward off the thought that we&#8217;ll return in another time and be unable to understand the plights of the day, or parse any of the ambiguity that exists between people.\u201d<\/em><br><br>Watch the lyric video for <em>Ceiling<\/em> via YouTube below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gDJhXmixLys?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Ceiling<\/em> follows the July announcement of \u2018Fast Idol\u2019 which came with the release of lead single <em><a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/black-marble-announces-new-album-fast-idol-tour-dates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Black Marble announces new album \u2018Fast Idol\u2019 + tour dates\">Somewhere<\/a><\/em>, accompanied by a wondrous, uplifting video directed by Theo Sixou, along with the confirmation of live dates to kick-off this October just after the album\u2019s release in the UK, followed by select U.S. dates this November, including shows in San Francisco and Los Angeles that were rescheduled from last year. In more news, Black Marble has now just confirmed an extensive route of overseas Spring 2022 dates that will keep him on the road throughout April of next year into early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On \u2018Fast Idol,\u2019 LA-based Black Marble reaches back through time to connect with the forgotten bedroom kids of the analogue era, the halcyon days of icy hooks and warbly synths always on the edge of going out of tune. Harmonies are piped in across the expanse of space, and lyrics capture conversations that seem to come from another room, repeat an accusation overheard, or speak as if in sleep of interpersonal struggles distilled down to one subconscious phrase. At the same time, percussive elements feel forward and cut through the mix with toms counting off the measures like a lost tribe broadcasting through the bass and tops of a basement club soundsystem.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018Fast Idol\u2019 is Stewart&#8217;s fourth full-length album and his second for Sacred Bones. His previous album \u2018Bigger than Life\u2019 was written in the face of cultural shifts in the U.S. In experiencing these he realised he was not keyed into certain negative sentiments that were bubbling below the surface, which were breaking out into the open. \u201c<em>I chose to try and take the approach of a soothsayer writing from a macro level, trying to find strands of connection between us because it didn\u2019t feel appropriate to create something self referential and gloomy at the time,\u201d<\/em> he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, \u2018Fast Idol\u2019 sees him return to a sentiment and process that defined the earlier days of Black Marble, in a return to his intuitive song writing process where songs land as impressionistic snippets of daily conflicts, and people struggle with the challenge of trying to move through the world. \u201c<em>People don\u2019t expect me to be responsible for altering their outlook or mood, they come to hear something that meets them where they are. I trusted on this record that if I stayed in that space and created things from that more mysterious place, it would connect with others.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Melodies roll with the fizz and charm of Jacno and phrases repeated are electric torchlight ballads sung after hours in William Gibson\u2019s San Francisco. <em>Somewhere<\/em> opens in sombre herald, before dropping into a fast freeway tempo; the glassy synths and crisp beats that cut through the anxious moods on <em>Bodies<\/em> and <em>Try<\/em> sit in a lineage with cult bands like Asylum Party. <em>The Garden<\/em> is a journey through a post-apocalyptic cityscape, earthed by the pulse of a drum machine whereas <em>Ship To Shore<\/em> could be a lost Oppenheimer Analysis B-side, and the album\u2019s closer <em>Brighter and Bigger<\/em> catches a sentiment like The Dadacomputer has learned to feel emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black Marble is the universal and enigmatic observer at the centre of his music, watching time passing, the world changing, and embracing the anxiety it brings. He captures the loneliness of Ray Bradbury\u2019s atomic-era sci-fi and the apocalyptic but revolutionary spirit of Godard\u2019s <em>Sympathy for the Devil<\/em>, as in <em>Preoccupation<\/em>, the beating heart of the album, which conjures ambivalent scenes of an empty world and the comfort to be found in a shared humanity in lyrics that state: \u201c<em>What is gone only people and time, standing tall covered cities and signs. Well I\u2019ve wandered the west side and I\u2019ve laughed at your broken roads but this feeling of preoccupation makes life whole.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stewart writes and plays everything himself, and tours with a rotating cast of players. Emerging from the early 2000s New York synth scene, Black Marble carried on the tradition of early synthwave pioneers like Martin Dupont and Modern Art who repurposed synths once reserved for expensive studios and stadium rock superstars. Available widely and cheaply for the first time, these synths became a staple for bedroom artists \u2013 connecting wires and twisting knobs into something that felt entirely new. Seeking to channel this spirit, Black Marble recalls the gauzy tape wow and flutter of The Membranes and the warbling VCO of Futurisk, carrying on a sound that seeks to channel the future while imprinting residue of the past. These early reference points are still audible, an electronic sound steeped in punk spirit, galvanised by passion: &#8220;<em>When I started making songs I got enough positive feedback just to keep me going,&#8221;<\/em> Stewart says, &#8220;<em>and then I never stopped.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Black Marble was signed with just one song available online, and Stewart has been writing songs and making music ever since, beginning with \u2018A Different Arrangement\u2019 via Hardly Art in 2012, followed by \u2018It&#8217;s Immaterial\u2019 in 2016 via Ghostly International and \u2018Bigger Than Life\u2019 on his current label Sacred Bones in 2019, with two EPs also to his name. &#8220;<em>On my previous album I was more specific about the themes I was talking about,&#8221;<\/em> Stewart says. <em>&#8220;Fast Idol goes back to the songwriting on my early records, where the themes were guided by intuition and instinct \u2013 often, their meanings only become clear to me after they&#8217;re written.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fast Idol<\/em> sees Black Marble face the rising tide of uncertainty, leaving our future selves to trace its signal as its frequencies echo into an interstellar expanse, looking for a receiver. He says:<em> &#8220;I want my music to stick with you after I leave, even though you might not feel like you\u2019re any closer to knowing it.&#8221;\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/gcBhgoUVLvWqfXmMkbwfeURIfAeqAVsjzVZCdYRmo4PGt_LgK9FLZWPJNDuU3R7vCFk-IKruBkvY3lqo_LpM8nRIqX9PRPjg9ILIPi6DyDeiFFL-yiz8YoVg5XpQSUcoBNfkE_6U=s0\" alt=\"Black Marble Fast Idol cover artwork \"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Fast Idol\u2019 track listing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Somewhere<\/li><li>Bodies<\/li><li>Royal Walls<\/li><li>Try<\/li><li>The Garden<\/li><li>Say It First<\/li><li>Streetlight<\/li><li>Ceiling<\/li><li>Ship to Shore<\/li><li>Preoccupation<\/li><li>Brighter and Bigger<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-Order \u2018Fast Idol\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/BlackMarbleFastIdol\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tour dates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10\/23 &#8211;
