The Juggler's Progress is released NOW!
Me, Myself, and I
RELEASED JANUARY 19, 2010! Make sure to pick up your copy of THE JUGGLER'S PROGRESS from Amazon, or iTunes, or at a record store near you! If your local independent record store isn't carrying True Margrit, please ask them to do so!

We are very proud of our new baby, and we're sure you'll love it too. We've even made the CD a special listening experience with some material not available on the download version- plus the full foldout of beautiful artwork by Alicia Buelow and complete lyrics to all songs.

---------------

"...surprisingly smart. If you like Ben Folds...you will be left with that mental acuteness and cracked smile that comes with being cheered up. Eichler’s voice is...husky yet so stretchable and tangible, inescapably endowing the record with a loveable quirkiness." DJ Doublestuf, KZSU Zookeeper online

    • London!

      I love London--it's grand as all get out (as we say in the States) SO MUCH TO TELL--but for now I report a pilgrimage to Abbey Road ( as portrayed so accurately in my WALL drawing on our band page here --although it's hard to portray my terror & confusion with British traffic, which I confess to you nice people is a bit challenging for Americans...). Got some of that fab Beatles mojo standing there seeing all the lovely graffiti, the 'Abbey Road' logo above the door, and intriguingly enough there was a huge truck ( er, lorry) inscribed with the words: 'London Philharmon'. AWESOME, dude.

      Later this week--Oxford & perhaps an open mic if I can find one with a piano/ keyboard...?
      ...& scones & clotted cream of course!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Production for True Margrit's 5th album: THE JUGGLER's PROGRESS is winding up... more info forthcoming soon! True Margrit's signature piano-pop is whip smart, expertly crafted, and has more hooks than a pirate ship. On SEAWORTHY, the trio's 4th and most ambitious album to date, True Margrit navigates the waters of interpersonal politics, vanity, history, time-travel, and mortality, and arrives wth a group of songs that is both emotionally raw and musically evolved. True Margrit's sound is fueled by singer/ songwriter/piano-player Margrit Eichler's husky-sweet alto, her adventuresome piano, and a secret weapon: the muscular, dynamic, turn-on-a-dime rhythm-section of Gary Hobish on bass and Andrew Bacon on drums. Although reminiscent of Ben Folds, Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello, and Aimee Mann, True Margrit's sound is all their own--a lyrical admixture of science, history, and personal narrative that explores the tension between what is catchy and what is complex.
