Carolina Confessions LP (Color)

Carolina Confessions features 10 brand-new songs, all written by Marcus except for How Long, which was co-written with the Black Keys Dan Auerbach and veteran songwriter Pat McLaughlin. Whether its the searing rock exorcism of Confessions or the propulsive road-bound soul of Where Im Headed, Marcus exhibits an almost Southern gothic sensibility in his songs, owning up to failed relationships, portraying his complex connection with his hometown, arraying a sprawling musical firmament in the process.

Marcus and his five bandmates drummer Jack Ryan, bass player Stephen Campbell, trumpeter/trombonist Justin Johnson, sax player Dean Mitchell and keyboard player DeShawn DVibes Alexander are in top form on Carolina Confessions, exhibiting an intuitive sense of control and expression as they tackle their most sonically layered and emotionally complex compositions to date.
