About Me

Review from City Newspaper

In a fine example of booking complementary acts, next up was the industrial-tinged throb of Craig Marlowe. From one song to the next, Marlowe and his wife, Kathryn (full disclosure: Kathryn is a City Newspaper employee) were able to glide across an impressive range of keyboard/beat-based music, effortlessly welding the ominous feel of Joy Division, Depeche Mode, and Devo with shades of gospel and chant.

from 610 Noise

Craig Marlowe is handsome. He also makes warm synthpop that throbs, roils, pulses, and thumps; equally suited to dancing, nodding, or fucking. We think we knew him once, but it was in a comfortable car and it was dark, so we're not sure.
