This release contains two different re-work approaches of the track ‘Pub Stories’ from the album ‘New Found Trails’ that was composed and recorded by our friend Volker Armbruster in 2020.
This is – or better – these tracks are not just target-group-specifc remixes of an irish folk track, to spread it beyond its actual genre for multiple evaluation, it’s rather an a fusion of Irish Folk and modern electronic music, garnished with additional lyrics and vocals, deep dramaturge and loads of intense yet playful sound design and a huge cinematic arrangement, full of unexpected twists.
All chopped, stirred, shaken and arranged onto a richly adorned platter of maroesk music brewing. A wild ride for mind, body and heart through traditional Irish Folk Music on Maroesk’s huge, vibrant and mind-mangling funfair ride of sonic curiosities that will leave you up side down but happy.

Pub Stories Lyrics
a busy night at the drinkery
everyone’s eager to share
their greatest hits with
anyone who sits
or will pull up a chair
chatter comes laced with hyperbole
the degree of exaggeration
will essentially
grow exponentially
to the increase in intoxication
draw me an ale
i'll tell you a tale
so tall, it can't be climbed
pour me a drink
i'll give you something to think
about for the rest of your life
eileen has the air of a vagabond
and the face of a porcelain doll
once brisk and vivacious
now angry and aimless
the instant effects of withdrawal
thallulah sings oldti-my-tunes
and sips her “special” ice tea
her eyes fixed in a squint
she’s three sheets to-the-wind
but still exudes such light and esprit
tap me a beer
lend me your ear
and let me blow your mind
while you’re slinging booze
ill clue you in on a truth
they didn’t want us to find
finnigan sits on his favorite stool
stubbornly calling me mate
it`s the same seat where he tells me
he sat june `53
on his last ever first date
no hope of glory
for the poets of the brew
just echoes of stories
in shiny new shoes
