i hope everyone is enjoying the new music from yearlongday/jonathan t marlowe. as you listen to such recent releases as “st. elmo’s fire” and “like lennon”, i urge you to visit Avant Fab, a blog about “Arts…Culture…Fashion…and a Whole Lotta Talent on the Fringe“. it was “Avant Fab” before i was, so please give it [...]

in 1996, i was introduced to an album that changed both what i listened to & how i listened: eno’s 1975 breakthrough another green world. although this album led me into eno’s later ambient projects, the stand-out track for me was the more teleological composition, “st. elmo’s fire“. this is not to be confused with [...]

the five-year anniversary of yearlonday’s founding has come and gone. i thank each of you for your support and enthusiasm over the past half-decade. it’s been our pleasure & privilege playing in front of & alongside you, from our first humble performances in suburban coffee shops & bakeries, to our highest-profile metropolitan bookings. while some [...]

maybe ‘final song‘ over-dramatizes our latest recordings, but ‘the last singles released by yearlongday‘ would aptly describe them. “sex savant” and “smoke & mirrors” conclude our 5-year odyssey into the yearlongday project, almost to the very day of inception (10/16/06). they aren’t the last songs leah & i will record, but their release signals the [...]

i’ve played bars, but i wouldn’t categorize yearlongday as a ‘bar band‘. it requires a different kind of artistry to be a successful ‘bar band’… a band that not only performs its repertoire with rote expertise, but also conjures energy from the audience seemingly out of thin (or thick) air. that’s not yearlongday… we lack [...]

what a fabulous year 2011 has been so far! let’s reminisce together… january- the original shot-story four years come, four years go is published. it is a narrative companion to my first album, humans, and foreshadows the imminent release of the “expanded edition“. doesn’t make a blip on the radar. february- the announcement is made [...]

tentative track list for the “best of jonathan t marlowe & yearlongday” album. the album will span 2000-2010 as a companion to the forthcoming biography, smothered by the silence. at the moment, no album art. 1. my formula (from humans) 2. believe (from humans) 3. nobody hurt without an excuse (from humans, 2000) 4. sally [...]

welcome to the world of “Avant-Fab“, the term i coined to describe the next phase of yearlongday. we’ll be growing into the genre as we create it, song by song, starting with the newly-released “ANYTHING“. this comes from a collaboration with local singer/songwriter john shaughnessy, who contributed most of the lyrics, very patiently over the [...]

far be it from me to build mountains from molehills, but 2011 is showing potential to be another epic year for jonathan t marlowe & co. consider the evidence… – march: my first album, “humans” is restored and expanded to 29 songs, including 14 bonus tracks of rare, previously unreleased material & new, decade-anniversary mixes.
