It may be only one man and an imaginary dog putting marlbank together. But no one’s gonna sell you a pup.
The typical marlbank reader I suspect isn’t a casual playlist consumer or someone who lets corporate algorithms dictate their taste.
You are the close listeners, midnight gig-goers, music students and players who genuinely live for the music.

Nearly everyone who uses the site uses either their desktop computer or phone to access it. Tablet use is small. Most people use Chrome and iPhone is most popular operating system. We’re small but perfectly formed – it’s an intimate crowd. This year so far the site has had 46, 800 views, 4 per cent down on year to date last year. It is what it is. People just aren’t clicking so much on anything in the AI era. Why even write any more when AI can do it for you? Hmmm that’s a hard pill to swallow.
What’s to come
- Live reviews return soon
- Key album reviews
- A few interviews
- A weekly podcast
