_______________________________________
Mark Marshall has been making one form of media or another for most of his life - but hardly ever in the spotlight. A profound waking dream changed all that, and the result is New Eye - his debut album.
Nineteen tracks - from power pop to ambient to straight ahead rock and roll. Seasoned songwriting, smart and passionate lyrics, diverse and complex arrangements, and enough heart to warm the world… these are the ingredients that make New Eye the exquisite work that it is.
This singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s debut solo effort leaves little doubt as to just what a powerful talent lies behind the work. New Eye harkens back to the days of the concept album, before artists were confined to the narrow musical spectrum expected of them, does it coherently, and does it with heart. The songwriting and performances grow on you with every listen – you will find yourself singing songs from this album a day later. Over two years in the making, New Eye documents a personal journey - from his youth in new york city, through relationships, the birth of his son, his father's suicide, a quest for higher purpose and observations of the world at large. Both lyrically and musically, there is longing throughout - but whether it’s a 4 minute power pop masterpiece, a straight-ahead rock and roll song, or a longer instrumental - there remains a stoic, redeeming aspect to every track.
There are several instrumentals on the album, which aptly illustrate the unique quality of Marshall's arrangements, and could all have been plucked straight from a movie soundtrack. (this is truly great driving music.)
One of New Eye's most redeeming features might be that it's not easily categorized. This album ranges from straight-ahead rock to sixties-tinged pop to lush instrumental, and tracks that don't fall into a category at all - but all with beautifully subtle, sometimes complex instrumental and vocal arrangements. This is handcrafted music at its' best.
