Wearing heart on the sleeve, Austin Marquez’s ‘(closer to) clear’ is an authentic and intimate exposition into the queer artists journey through sobriety. Coming from a choreography background, Marquez incorporates dance thoroughly and all over what he produces. On this track, there’s a dreamy and ethereal veneer draped all over the production. It will have you bouncing at the top of the world, until you feel crashing catharsis that has you in tears and crying out at the authentic emotion that Marquez brings out to life.
The New York based multi dimensional artist brings to life records that operate with scale and intricacies far above and beyond the norm. ‘(closer to) clear’ moves from acoustic to transcendental to a ballad, it’s just so deeply vividly emotive that you’re swept into Marquez’s all encompassing world and from the top of your lungs to the bottom of the lows.
