five years is an excruciatingly long time for a band like marmoset, who reside in a city referred to as naptown. somehow this band has managed to bottle into one album all of the idiosyncrasies and pathos that have, to date, made them the critically-acclaimed band we all love. merging the swell maps-inspired tumultuous clamour of their debut ep 'hiddenforbidden', the addictive two-minute anthems on 'today it's you', and the epic (for marmoset at least) joyful dirges from 'record in red', 'florist fired' has it all. this is the perfect opportunity for those who have long treasured the indianapolis trio (and elevated them to cult status), as well as those fortunate to be hearing them for the first time, to now hold hands and exchange the knowing glance that they're hearing something that matters. the idea of being a traditional, functioning band has never quite caught on with the men in marmoset. their live shows and behind-the-scenes breakdowns are spiritually aligned with the likes of brian jonestown massacre, but, unlike that self-conscious revolving-door band from san francisco, the music you hear from marmoset is pure sound verite. no need for a ballyhoo project like dig!, although the harrowing tales marmoset could tell would certainly make for riveting viewing. until the public is ready for such a trip into the madness, tension and ecstasy that is marmoset, the aural documents that constitute 'florist fired' will serve quite nicely as their chariot on the road towards canonization - even if only in the pages of irwin chusid and julian cope. cd only on secretly canadian.
