Mixing drums, piano, acoustic guitars and strings,
And a bit of poetry and philosophy with emotion,
Marc Robillard’s sophomore EP brings
Well-crafted songs with folk roots devotion.
A bit of notoriety with “So Much More” for Frito Lay Sun Chips,
Has been followed with these six tracks.
Pay attention to the words so filled with angst and quips
The compositions will take you back.
His lyrics are bare,
“Settin’ suns and all the ones who reach for shooting stars
So close you’re almost there,
then you realize it’s so far.”
Robillard says he is influenced by Coldplay,
Travis, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco and Damien Rice,
I can also heard Leonard Cohen, early Lou Reed and David Gray,
Not hard, not rough, not nasty - quite nice.
Canadian-born, but, now Los Angeles-based,
His sullen works express hopes and introspections.
I suggest you check out a taste,
A new musical experience beckons.
