Review: Critically acclaimed guitarist and songwriter Steve Marion, known as Delicate Steve, drops his new album Delicate Steve Sings and the title raises questions. Does it refer to the distinct "voice" of his guitar, or is there actual singing this time? Marion's guitar sound is instantly recognisable and sets him apart in a crowded indie rock scene. His unique style has led to collaborations with Miley Cyrus, Paul Simon, Amen Dunes, and The Black Keys, and was even sampled by Kanye West. Inspired by Willie Nelson's Stardust during a trip to Greece, Marion's latest album channels iconic voices through his guitar and showcases its smooth, bold, and singular tone.
Review: Fronted by fresh singles 'Five Spots To Caravan' and 'Prince Eugene', the New York-based James Brandon Trio bring incendiary experimental jazz and electronica still lives to the easel on their new record, the follow up to their debut Eye Of I. This one unites buoyant, maximal production and classic jazz influences; rooted in jazz, but said to have been informed by the textures of hip-hop and funk, the scope and ambition of this record is actually much wider than what such a description may suggest: longtime collaborators Chad Taylor and John Werner collusively conspire with saxophonist Lewis to bring you insane progressions of the most bangingly befuddling kind.
