Marconi Union is a UK electronic band that was formed in the early 2000s by Richard Talbot and Jamie Crossley, who met while working at a record shop in Manchester. Over the years, they have established themselves as pioneers of ambient music, creating mesmerizing soundscapes that captivate listeners.

In 2010, Marconi Union welcomed Duncan Meadows as their permanent live keyboardist, adding another layer of depth to their already immersive performances. With his addition, the band has been able to further push the boundaries of their unique sound.

Known for their ability to create atmospheric and ethereal compositions, Marconi Union draws inspiration from various genres such as drone, post-rock, and experimental music. Their music evokes a sense of tranquility and introspection, transporting listeners to otherworldly realms.

marconi union's new album, 'different colours', their sixth, is the first to prominently feature the work of pianist duncan meadows, who joined the group initially for live duties and was asked into the fold more permanently in 2010. playful and brighter, different colours is aptly named and finds marconi union shifting the focus from cool introspection to a friendlier, dynamic sound pierced in places by electric guitar and hushed vocals. whether duncan initiated this fresher outlook or not, on different colours marconi union have a certain swagger - and it suits them. though the crumpled qualities of marconi union have been smoothed out to a degree by the addition of duncan on different colours, the lasting impression is still one of exquisite world-weariness.
