Upon
first hearing this Marcus Rubio cassette I am taken back to my twenties and
listening to The Lyndsey Diaries only this brings them out in a more full on
band sort of way. Regardless of how
many instruments are being used (or voices) it does still have a rather
personal touch to it. In many ways,
with The Lyndsey Diaries, you’d feel as if Scott was singing directly to
you. That is a powerful tool to help
make music relatable and Marcus Rubio seems to have cracked the code on it.
While
on the surface this also could resemble a slower, mellower Owl City or even The
Rocket Summer, there is something so much more going on here. Elements of synth drone accompany strings and
sometimes there is so much going on I’ll never be able to grasp it all.
Oh
yeah, and if you think you’ve got this figured out by the end of the first
song, the second song comes in with female vocals taking the lead and completely
throwing me off my game. This takes us
back to the days of Rod Stewart, musically, and even EFS. Mostly this is a multi-instrumented cassette
filled with certain amounts of sadness and even dreamy qualities like Hunx.
Marcus
Rubio shares his name with a Florida state senator, but I’m pretty sure they
are not one and the same. Wouldn’t it
be cool though to get some political signs and bring them to one of his live
performances? Has anyone done that
yet? If not, someone in Florida certainly
needs to get on it.
Final
Thought: If Florida State Senator Marcus
Rubio ever became President, do you think the musician would get Secret Service
as well? I hope so.
