Marcus Foster - Tumble Down (EP)

Marcus Foster - Raspy voiced Londoner releases his debut EP in the U.K. this week, four tracks that herald the 24-year-old as one of the year's best new performing songwriters...folk based but with a loose-limbed rock swagger // Release: Tumble Down (April 4, Geffen U.K.) -- full length due this summer // Quote: "I was particularly obsessed with Tom Waits. "Not only did I love his voice, but also how he wrote his songs. They had such depth, so many layers, and were filled with the most amazing characters. He completely influenced the way I set about writing my own songs." Sounds like: one of those great voices that swings between caterwauling emotional release and sublime tenderness... soulful, earnest, direct -- comparisons to early Van Morrison // What we like: the freewheeling in-your-face rawness and two-chord majesty of the "Circle In the Square"...the jaw-droppingly great title track -- majestic fervor loosely wound around a soul-bearing melody of the highest order...
