If a covey of wide-eyed indie kids reinterpreted your grandpappy's record collection, it'd probably sound something like the incandescent Band Marino. A swirling carousel of guitars, banjos and mandolins, their whims come in an old-timey vernacular. But boring neo-traditionalists they're not. The folk trimmings, melodic verve and rock energy culminate in an effusive sort of carnival pop. The music is atmospherically rich and emotionally generous, a tapestry crafted in adoring detail. Earthy, human and eternally fresh-faced.
