Artist Biography by Jason Ankeny

Not a band per se, the Marbles were essentiallly the alias of singer/songwriter Robert Schneider, better known as the frontman of the frontman of the Apples in Stereo. A four-track solo project, the Marbles began in March 1992 in the Denver, CO apartment Schneider shared with fellow Ruston, LA native and future Olivia Tremor Control founder W. Cullen Hart; primarily a solo project, its sunny pop reflected Schneider's ongoing love of the Beach Boys, incorporating Casios, and toy musical instruments into his gentle, guitar-based songs. Upon the Apples' formation in 1993, the Marbles effectively ceased to exist; a posthumous compilation of material entitled Pyramid Landing and Other Favorites appeared in 1997.
