Isaac Marions Moon Colony

About Me


BUY THE ALBUM ON ITUNES
"As if he were inviting us to meet his own personal demons spun through a ghost story, Isaac Marion single-handedly tells his tales with enough guitars and tubular bells (including a choir of children on "Dead Children Talking" that would raise the hairs on a werewolf's hands) convincingly enough to make you believe you are listening to a full band's haunt. The greatest example is "The Colonist" where Marion's best falsettic yelps and shrieks are matched over an industrial beat that may or may not be garbage can lids. Can a morose and grim tale be told through a pop visionist's eyes and ultimately be accepted? It's happened before."
-Seattle Sound Magazine

Well I sold out of CDs, and I don't really plan on printing any more any time soon. The Moon Colony is what it is: a dumping ground for any and every musical thought that comes into my head. When am I going to play live? God only knows, and maybe not even Him. I need a drummer and bass player. They both have to be GOOD. Especially the drummer. Oh drummer from The Globes, won't you come and save me?

New Song! "Skin Meat Blood Bones"

Here we have another of these strange experiments with the far upper reaches of my vocal range, eschewing actual instruments in favor of alot of wonky vocal fuckery. Although Jared's guitar does make ...

WE KILL CHILDREN

Every instrument used in this song is an instrument that comes from my childhood, things I've had laying around for years that are attached to various points of my growing up. The Rhodes I used to pla...
