In a positive way The Funeral March (Of The Marionettes) remind me a lot of The Danse Society, esp. as Joe Whitaker's voice is not to far away from Steve Rawlings'. In England this 1987 founded project might have been a lot more succesful than in Rockford, Illinous, USA. From the mid-90ties the band was on hiatus but got reactivated in 2017 and released a string of Singles & EP's with It All Falls Apart being the final one recorded already in 2023 and issued now with additional Remixes.
Produced and recorded by William Faith (Faith & The Muse, Mephisto Waltz, ..) this is classic darkwave stuff; the melodramatic, romantic "Stars At Night" opens the original 5 songs, followed by "Shadow Games" fittingly aided by a chorus not far away from Modern English. "Bobblehead" is a bitter ballad about being left behind with heavy bass foundation. "Save Us" is for me the highlight, a punchy hymn starting with ranting lines:

Can’t trust the TV station
Talking heads divide the nation
Blood…
In the ratings war
No restraint on aspiration
Plumb the depths of degradation
Pride…
Goes before the fall...

This one and the title song benefit from real drums supplied by Robert Hyman of [melter] supporting the trio; guitarist Wayne Thiele, and bassist Darius McCaskey alongside singer, keyboarder J. Whitaker.
"It All Falls Apart" is also remixed twice and was published as lead track with video. The Bellhead remix is an extended version with an Love Like Rockets like choir but the real treat is the Joy Thieves Remix, shifting from the more dramatic approach into post punk urgency with added emphasis on the guitar work.
Both versions of "Stars At Night" remixed by Tweaker add a more cinematic feel and some electronic percussion - just enough to keep the original euphoric mood intact.
It All Falls Apart goes out as final statement of The Funeral March due to the untimely death of Joe Whitaker in May 2024.

Sadly the band is now no more but a compilation of the various releases from that productive 2nd phase including their brilliant cover of "Mirror People" from 'The Work Of Sinners, The Work Of Saints (A Tribute To Love & Rockets And Tones On Tail)' would be welcome.
