“Lay Bare Your Bones is overwhelmingly sincere, the sort of recording that makes you want to strip away the responsibilities of everyday life, and hit the vast open rails with a bindle in one hand and a battered guitar case in the other.” Ezra Ace Caraeff – the Portland Mercury

Pet Marmoset Interviews Jonah!

Once again, the dynamic duo of JP Pederson and Jason Gears combine to offer up a deep insight into a local band, and this time it’s our good friends Jonah. Henry Curl and co. take us through the process of recording their new release The Wonder and the Thrill while balancing families, and the journey as a band that is known as Jonah. Their latest full-length album The Wonder and the Thrill reveals a subtle departure from the bandʼs Brit-pop origins, unveiling a somewhat simpler and softer approach to their arrangements, instrumentation and overall recording.

Check out the interview, and laugh along with some of the nicest gents you’ll meet.

The Dimes Go Viral!

Pet Marmoset is always happy to announce when one of ours gains some special attention. Last week, The Dimes’ song “Ballad of Winslow Homer,” off of their latest album “The King Can Drink The Harbor Dry,” was used as a soundtrack by the good people Stillmotion for a mini-film from a recent trip to the Atlanta Aquarium. Once released to the public, the video was a tremendous hit, tallying up over 40,000 views in the first day, and over 120,000 in a week.

The video is a gorgeous and serene two minute glimpse into the lives of the inhabitants of the aquarium. Take a couple minutes to have a look!

Upcoming Joshua English shows!

Joshua English is a modern day troubadour with roots in both Portland, Oregon and Boston, Massachusetts. Culling inspiration from Raymond Carver, perpetual motion, and oceans of black coffee, his new record, Lay Bare Your Bones, presents a unique brand of cynicism and leads a novel exploration of life’s ironies. With influences spanning Sam Cooke to Public Enemy, English’s forthcoming release reveals core threads of Brit-folk weaved over stylistic leanings akin to Chuck Ragan and Billy Bragg.

Joshua just returned from a productive tour on the east coast, and will be eager to begin ramping up for his album release show for “Lay Bare Your Bones” at the Doug Fir on December 22nd, by playing Portland’s the White Eagle on November 11th. We at Pet Marmoset are excited announce another date, too. On December 4th, Joshua will be playing with Y La Bamba and Horse Feathers.



Here’s some of Joshua English’s tunes for download. Feel free to share them amongst friends and family.
