mariage blanc - Broken Record

In French, ‘mariage blanc’ literally means, white marriage.

That’s cool and all, but in English, ‘mariage blanc,’ gives definition to a six-piece band that is worth noticing. When the term comes up in conversation over here at N.M.X, we don’t think of marriage or white doves, we think of the melodic, relaxing sound of the group from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Mariage blanc is an indie rock band consisting of Jeff Baker, Matt Ceraso, Josh Dotson, Josh Kretzmer, Sam McUmber, and Chris Williams. These six gentlemen have been making music since early 2007, and have been doing it well. Their album titled, “Broken Record,” has a similar sound to that of the Beatles, Elliott Smith, and Wilco, to name a few. Whether you’re driving around, hanging out, sippin’ a beer or just jammin' on the iPod, these guys can be sure to fit your mood. Mariage blanc has a relaxing sound complimented by soft vocals which can provide an easy listen for open ears.

New Music Xperience is happy to offer their album to you free. This band is filled with young talent, but most importantly, they make good music.
