More Music from Craig Martinson

Leave a comment

craiggyI’ve written about Craig Martinson before, and as he unleashes a new single our way, I’m fascinated by his ability to play the musical chameleon, even within a singular song.  He opens his verses here with a sound that seemingly falls in line with the likes of Beck or Eels, but the eruption for the chorus is something entirely different.  For me, it takes on a more classic pop music sound, one that’s been reimagined by many new-psych enthusiasts.  Look for his new EP, My Love Is True, this summer; it’s bound to be an interesting adventure to say the least.

Give a Listen to Craig Martinson

craigoI think you really have to spend some time listening to this Craig Martinson track to really absorb it’s greatness.  In the first minutes it goes from ballad to bouncy psych to Beatlesque pop; it’s not an easy task to make it flow so well together.  It’s a journey that definitely takes time, but as each layer is unfolded, you’ll find yourself falling deeper into the song’s structure, willingly submitting to its power. Look forward to hearing his My Love is True EP; it should be filled with more songs for the journeyman listener.

Something Playful from Craig Martinson

cragFeel like I went a little heavy on the rock side of things today, so I wanted to spin it around and offer something playful and captivating via Craig Martinson.  The songwriter has crafted a tune that’s akin to bands like White Rabbit or early Cold War Kids; the style brings with it huge hooks and a little bit of psychedelic funk to the mix.  It’s one of those songs that just makes you happy to be alive, so why not play it loud on this Friday afternoon.  You’ll find this tune on his latest EP, My Love Is True.
