Fraudulent by The Marauders

Maybe we could have attempted to pass for human a little longer after Curtains for the Orchestra. Let the myth take its course, let the comment sections debate "authenticity" while the brass continued to float through the smoke. But a mask is still a mask, even when it sings.

So we’re leaving a note on the table and letting the music do the talking.
There are no lungs behind these hymns. No sweat on the valves. No knuckles split on a midnight chord. If you came looking for a body, you won’t find one here.

If that troubles you, we understand.
If it moved you, we understand that too.

This is Fraudulent.

The Marauders are a conceptual New Orleans-inspired funeral jazz ensemble known for their slow, smoke-drenched compositions that blend traditional brass elements with post-apocalyptic storytelling, ambient textures, and subtle electronic decay.
