Thats how Knight Berman Jr once described the music he writes and records as the Marble Tea, but it doesnt tell the full story. Grown-up topics like hiding from the law, excruciating ennui, and impotence have all found their way into songs in some fashion or another, and his affirmation that I havent met a child yet that I could sit and have a smoke with further distances us from that original statement. was selected as for 2004 at , and three of his recordings were featured in the toddler-friendly video. Along the way, he's contributed to a compilation of "tiny pop songs," tribute records to Richard Brautigan and the Jazz Butcher, and provided theme music for cartoons on the internet. In 2010, Berman continues to examine the underlying connection between life's smallest things and the grander design behind it all through an unpretentious brand of indie pop. So what does the music sound like? Comparisons to the Magnetic Fields, Jonathan Richman, Robyn Hitchcock, early Beck, the Kinks - even "a happy Lou Reed" - have all been made and may serve as a nice starting point. Influences include the Jazz Butcher, Felt, the Magnetic Fields, Robyn Hitchcock, Elliott Smith, the Go-Betweens, the Beatles, the Kinks, the Velvet Underground, etc. He is currently working on numerous projects which may or may not reach completion.
