Before you ask Marmoset are new world monkeys, apparently they are a highly active primate. As it happens Marmoset is also the name of a set of 3 cheeky chaps from Indianapolis. For a time it looked like the latter was in greater danger of becoming extinct given that their new album ‘Florist Fired’ is their first recorded output in 5 years. Fronted by the Beatles obsessive Jorma Whittaker Marmoset exhibit on record exactly why making the thing that pays their bills might be a slow affair. ‘Missing Man’ is undoubtedly lovely but it also identifies a group of men for whom knuckling down scarcely registers as a worthwhile activity. That said it leaves an indelible impression, probably having the legs to extend beyond its 1:53 length. That’s the beauty of it though, carefree, near inactive and totally huggable. KD
