Joyful Noise Recordings will release, Tea Tornado, the new album from Indianapolis-based band Marmoset on August 4th, 2009.
Throughout the last 14 years, the enigmatic trio known as Marmoset has fostered a near-mythical cult status with their claustrophobic, moody, and ethereal blend of indie pop. The band's subtle take on primordial post-punk spawns songs whose simple structures seem to speak in tongues.

Beginning on January 1, 1995, Marmoset has undergone a decade-plus as under-appreciated (yet critically acclaimed) heroes of lo-fi indie rock. Marmoset were one of the first bands signed to Secretly Canadian back in 1997, and would go on to release a total of six recordings through that indie stalwart (including the subtle, eccentric pop masterpiece Record In Red - which Pitchfork says "ranks among the best albums released by Secretly Canadian"), Marmoset has found a new home with Joyful Noise, which began re-issuing the band's catalog on vinyl in 2007. In 2009, Marmoset is at its most energetic, revelatory, and sensational - with a stripped-down, punchier sound – continuing the band's unruly trajectory with the lazy swagger, slimy melody, and profound simplicity that is Tea Tornado. Fans of everything from The Velvet Underground to The Breeders will appreciate these simple and surreal songs with twisted sensibilities and perplexingly sexy vocals.
Tea Tornado will be available August 4, 2009 on Joyful Noise, and Marmoset will embark on an extremely rare U.S. tour in support of the new album.
