Fragile Fate Lilliam Ocean CD

2016 debut from a trio whose past history belies years of exemplary music-making and a new project teeming with singular ideas. The enigmatically-coined group is made up of no less than Jerry Marotta, who cut his teeth as Peter Gabriel's go-to drummer from 1977-1986 (in addition to performing with the likes of Indigo Girls, Hall & Oates, Tony Levin, and others), Rupert Greenall, keyboardist for µ80s seminal new-wavers The Fixx, and the mysterious guitarist/string-bender Eric "the" Taylor. All three musicians merge their respective sensibilities and prodigious talents into one glorious, cohesive unit, where their distinctive styles float throughout a rich, vibrant mix of errant percussive, arcing synths, and opalescent waves of guitar.
