Delicate Steve - Delicate Steve Sings
“Steve Marion has become something you didn’t know you even needed in this day and age: a guitar hero…his luminous leads form the emotional undercurrent around which everything else flows.” – Pitchfork
“Delicate Steve slyly eludes generalizations…there’s no telling when a track will take an abrupt, peculiar tangent.” – New York Times
“Delicate Steve’s music maintains the capacity to surprise…[his music] is bursting with eccentric ideas and curlicues that playfully threaten to unmoor any given song altogether.” – NPR
“There are few electric guitar masterminds putting their expertise to such unique ends as Steve Marion.” – Consequence
This Friday, Delicate Steve (aka Steve Marion), will release his new LP Delicate Steve Sings. Out August 16th on ANTI-, the album is the 6th LP from the critically-acclaimed guitarist, who was worked with artists like Miley Cyrus, Paul Simon, Amen Dunes, Tame Impala and The Black Keys, while carving out a truly unique niche as an instrumental musician over the past decade.
Delicate Steve’s new LP was influenced by the classic Willie Nelson cover album Stardust. Inspired by the way Nelson took iconic songs and made them his own, Steve’s new LP features a collection of original compositions and a handful of covers on which he channels the singing styles of a series of iconic singers through his guitar playing.
On the album’s first single “I’ll Be There,” he built a composition inspired by the singing style of “Lean On Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” singer Bill Withers, and on its follow up he covered of Donnie & Joe Emeron’s “Baby.” Today, he is sharing a final single from the LP, a track called “Easy For You,” which isn’t a cover of the Elvis song of the same name but was inspired by The King.
