A new single release from Mark Schuster blends a great array of textures together to create this sort of cinematic and vast feeling sound that really does grab you and let you sort of flow and swim along with the whole thing right from the start.
"Read The Room" is a track that takes elements of contemporary pop, alternative pop, even jazz undertones, and an indie approach that seem to coincide with each other in perfect harmony as the track takes you on this open-ended Journey and the whole thing has a slight noir and cinematic feel to it.
This track has a strange way of letting you feel like you're drifting through someone else's dream and there is an element of personality that you catch as you drift which becomes incredibly enticing in an almost mysterious way.
This track does have that air of mystery to it and I think that has to do with the tones and the instrumentation that the song is composed of however, it does have that spacious feel as well so there's a lot of room for the song to breathe and for you to soak it in.
This is cool because it sort of breaks down different boundaries and you feel like it's freeing in a particular way and I think that's because the song steps outside the norm and gives off this alive and breathing type of aesthetic.
It's not a straightforward, cookie-cutter-style approach but I love that about it.
Now, we're no strangers to Marc and his music as a matter of fact, we had the liberty of listening to another very recent track released in a Christmas compilation as well as previous drops I can definitely tell you that this is an artist that is always stepping outside that box in any way that he can but I don't think that's something he purposely does.
I think that that is his natural way of songwriting and it's where and how he is most comfortable as an artist.
He never conforms to what you expect to hear and that's something that shows a little bit of an evolution.
My personal way of describing this track is that it is the type of song that you can hear in a David Lynch film.
If you like David Lynch movies, then you'll totally understand what I mean and when you listen to this song, you'll understand even more.
Marc Schuster never fails to deliver his own style and even though that style can morph and change here and there, you sort of know it's him when you hear it.
This was a very intriguing and alluring single and I would suggest taking a listen to this with headphones when you get a chance.
This way you can soak it in the way it was meant to be.
Remember where you heard it first.
Marc is an amazing artist, he was definitely out-of-the-box on this one!
Thanks for the kind words!
