Details:
Marlowe had written an unpublished novella in the 1990s, titled Fuse. It was about a man from Friendship, a small fictitious town in Arkansas. Marlowe lived in Arkansas for four years and based Friendship on Bill Clinton's hometown, Hope. This young man, feeling despondent and abandoned by his community, joins up with a militia online. He is inspired by their anti-government terrorist philosophy and decides he's going to make a statement by driving to New York City and blow himself up at the National Convention which is underway. A writer living in New York sees a good story for his next novel in this deadly deed. He travels to Friendship and retraces the bomber's route up to New York, documenting the people and places along the way.
Marlowe revisted the storyline after recording Eulogy in 2005. He wanted to write not just a concept album, but a musical that could be produced for the stage. The story had its roots in the Oklahoma City bombings, but had become much more relevant after the world had been affected by terror in Madrid, London, Tokyo and of course New York and Washington. Marlowe bought a $200 piano at the Salvation Army and got to work teaching himself how to play it. The songs for Fuse, the musical, flowed out faster than expected, as if he'd had these songs pent up in him for a decade. Within 6 months the first act had been composed and recorded, with the help of drummer Ric Menck (Matthew Sweet, Velvet Crush) and keyboardist Carl Byron. Act One would develop the two characters: the bomber, a 21-year-old man from Friendship who, obsessed with his cause, slips into psychosis and sets off for New York, and the writer, a depressed alcoholic teetering between celebrity and anonymity, depending on the success of his next novel. Act Two would introduce us to the strange people these two would meet along the way from Arkansas to New York. All these people would have one common vice: their desire to exploit others. It would be this vice that would further motivate the bomber in his actions.
Marlowe has previously recorded as Stuart Maybe, also for sale at CD Baby.
