Black Marble is the beloved solo project of Brooklyn-based artist Chris Stewart. Originally emerging in 2012 with his classic debut album A Different Arrangement on Seattle's Hardly Art Records, he's been consistently fine-tuning his propulsive, nostalgic, wonderfully smeared synth-pop sound inflected with a heavy dose of coldwave, post-punk, and New Wave. His fifth and latest album Life in Small Spaces came out August 21st on Sacred Bones Records.
For his exclusive guest DJ mix for Midnight in a Perfect World, Black Marble dives deep into his record collection to share a wonderfully eclectic mix featuring a lot of "early '80s power pop and Peel sessions-vibed jangle pop."
