Black Marble – “It Always Comes To Me” (Audio)
‘Life In Small Spaces’
Sacred Bones Records – Aug. 21, 2026
*Black Marble – “It Always Comes To Me” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr2AAHB1au8 // “It Always Comes To Me,” the new single from Black Marble’s brand new album, ‘Life In Small Spaces’. Out now on Sacred Bones Records and marks a distinct departure from the project’s earlier minimal synth and cold wave aesthetics. While previous albums relied heavily on “walls of synthesizers” to create atmosphere, this track introduces a warmer, more organic sound driven by bass and guitar. This shift gives the song a “live” feeling, as if musicians are occupying a shared physical space rather than layering tracks in isolation.*

New from @CBSNews: Some U.S. military members who are itching to play a video game they’ve anticipated for more than a decade can trade a commitment for several more years of their life in uniform for a few days off to play Grand Theft Auto VI. As an incentive to reenlist, a U.S. Army unit in Georgia is offering active duty soldiers a four-day pass to play the popular game when it’s released this fall, U.S. officials told us. @ellee_watson @JimLaPorta and me
