American Watercolor Movement started as an artistic response to transcribe visual and written art into a musical form, created from the ashes of “Cock Marlin,” a duo consisting of Jason Cieradkowski and John Fesken, named so after a lost film of the same title. Since the early days of musical and recording experimentation such as recording multiple tracks on different landings in an apartment stairwell, the band has coalesced into a steady core of musicians (Brian Wilson, Tom Barrett, Mark Townsend, Joe Centeno) with their music, recordings and live shows earning praise from fans and critics alike. - WFMU
