Marinelli. Born in West Virginia coal mining country and (I believe) now based in Trondheim. Norway, Marinelli is a one-man band that doesn\u2019t pretend to be anything else. On <i>Putting the World to Rights<\/i>, he sings his simple yet hooky songs in an unaffected, impassioned we-mean-it-man style. There are few overdubs here; the album is very much of an audio verit\u00e9 character, and that suits the songs perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>The song sequencing might be called into question: while the album starts tentatively, the songs really do get better and better as they go along. \u201cAre You Terrified?\u201d features some well-placed if subtle vocal harmonies, and \u201cHate Your Freedom\u201d shows that despite a punk aesthetic, Marinelli is an accomplished musician with some really good arrangement ideas. \u201cWhere They\u2019d Have Us\u201d has some peppy handclaps, giving the music a cmapfire singalong quality that only adds to its appeal. Throughout, Marinelli sounds as if he\u2019s in your living room with a bit of gear, singing his songs for you and a few of your pals. He\u2019s a volume dealer, too: the record serves up fifteen songs in 36 minutes.
