Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

In a Detroit suburb, tucked between a pizzeria and a Walgreen s, lies an arcade jam-packed with one-of-a-kind oddities. It is from this bizarre wonderland that Tally Hall draws the inspiration for their debut album, MARVIN S MARVELOUS MECHANICAL MUSEUM. The re-mixed and re-mastered album is a collection of songs that transcends stylistic parameters and genre conventions. In the same way Marvin s motley machines form an unexpectedly cohesive collection, riffy rock like Greener sits comfortably alongside the spare electro-hip-hop of Welcome to Tally Hall. The Caribbean flavors of Banana Man complement the rootsy Americana feel of Be Born.The Bidding and The Whole World and You sound like they're playing hooky from the Great White Way.Two Wuv voices a sly and slightly creepy attraction to the Olsen twins.All five of us have different yet overlapping tastes in music says drummer Ross Federman. Having three distinct songwriters allows us to explore a wide-variety of musical terrain. Over time, it became apparent that our sound didn t fit squarely into a single genre. We just let the music speak for itself.
