After signing with Secretly Canadian, they released the 1998 debut EP Hiddenforbidden, which featured an abrasive yet catchy sound and songs that barely passed the two-minute mark. Their sprawling debut album, Today It's You, arrived early the following year and broadened the band's sound (even though the length of their songs stayed as short as ever). In 2001, the band returned with Record in Red, a darker, trippier set of songs; the following year's Mishawaka EP featured cleaner production, more abstract soundwriting, and more detailed arrangements. Marmoset went on hiatus for a few years, during which time Whittaker released a self-titled solo album in 2003.
The band resurfaced, minus Ellrich, on the 2006 Indiana indie rock compilation Delicious Berries and contributed a cover of Jens Lekman's "Sky Phenomenon" to Secretly Canadian's SC100 collection in 2007. Florist Fired, which recalled Today It's You's freewheeling art pop, arrived later that year. Whittaker and company moved to Joyful Noise Recordings for Tea Tornado, released in August 2009.

Marmoset Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
..the way
Now please get out of the way
Cause you're out for the count for the company
Take out the torch for the way
Turn on please get out of the way
Turn your love to forget
Tell me she's on out of the way
Turn it please throw it away
Turn on please get out of the way
The lyrics to Marmoset's song Sound Again seem to be quite abstract and open to interpretation. It doesn't have a clear narrative, but it evokes a sense of urgency and a need to move forward. The repeated lines of "turn on please get out of the way" and "take out the torch for the way" suggest a need to clear a path and make progress, even if it means leaving something (or someone) behind.
The lines "tell me she's on out of the way" and "turn your love to forget" hint at a relationship that has ended or is ending, and the singer is urging themselves (or someone else) to move on. The use of repetition in the lyrics also creates a hypnotic quality, like a mantra or a chant, emphasizing the importance of taking action and leaving the past behind.
Overall, the lyrics to Sound Again by Marmoset convey a message of urgency and the need for forward movement, even if it means letting go of something or someone holding you back.
