Sung with delectable melodic harmonies, Austin Marquez’s dark pop tune ‘Nostalgic Boy’ is a synth masterpiece. Driven with a messy guitar riff and a soaring synth backdrop alongside a wistful vocal performance, Marquez paints a larger than life picture through this decidedly grandiose composition. The sheer grandeur that comes alive in the chorus as he sings ‘a wistful one’ really encapsulates the full breadth of the vivid imagery that Marquez is bringing to the listener.
The New York City based singer-songwriter is a pop devotee, but one who really draws from cinematic and ethereal themes to create a more opulent sensation in his work.
