“John Marsden is a lo-fi indie artist from the Midlands, UK, blending minimalist recording techniques and artwork with poetic lyrics and delicate instrumentation.“
This captivating quote accompanied the submissions for the artist’s latest single, and it truly set the stage for what was to come. Having been a part of the music scene since 2012, the artist has cultivated a distinctive style that shines through his work. As I delved into the track, I found myself entranced by the lyrics, which possess a poetic quality that resonates deeply. Each time I revisit the song, I am drawn back into its enchanting atmosphere, where every note feels intentional and layered.
The quote hinted at the exquisite blend of lyrical depth and subtle instrumentation, and it did not disappoint. I was utterly captivated by the intricacy and thoughtfulness of the artist’s composition. The arrangement was beautifully crafted, showcasing a masterful selection of instruments that enhanced the emotional weight of the piece. The chorus, in particular, lingered in my mind long after the song had ended, its melodic catchiness and heartfelt delivery leaving a lasting impression. This submission has undoubtedly become one of the more intriguing pieces I’ve had the pleasure of covering, and I truly admire the artistry that went into creating it.
Could I be there
Could I be there when it falls
Into us
Can I see it
Can I see it when it all
Burns down
