If Marah were ever to rewrite its resume, it should begin with three words: »soul,« »chaos,« and, most notably, »reinvention.« Led by ex-Philadelphia siblings Dave and Serge Bielanko, the band has never shied away from tinkering with either its sound or lineup. While the results aren’t always a hit (see 2002’s debacle Float Away with the Friday Night Gods), Marah manages to stay buckled into the rock & roll driver’s seat--these days riding the restive streets of Brooklyn--on album number six, which features habitual rockers like »Coughing Up Blood« and the playful title track. On board now is the first female, keyboardist Christine Smith. As much a constituent as a guest, Smith adds subtle layers of piano to the formidable »Wild West Love Song« and the bluesy, Zeppelin-like »Jesus in the Temple.« But even more newsworthy, her jazzy stylings have rubbed off on the Bielankos. Check out »Santos De Madera,« a breezy pop song, the ballad »Blue But Cool,« and the 10-minute »Wilderness,« Marah’s very own »Day In The Life.« --Scott Holter
