Edinburgh-based artist Marky Wildtype delves into the depths of existentialism in his latest single, 'The Hole', the second release from his upcoming album, 'If Destroyed Still True.'
A sonic departure from his previous single, 'Tell Me Again', the new track delivers a bluesy, swaggering rock sound infused with introspective lyrical exploration. Throughout, Marky grapples with the elusive quest for meaning, confronting the vast "holes" we inevitably discover within ourselves as we seek understanding in a boundless universe.
'The Hole' embodies Marky's artistic evolution, showcasing his knack for catchy melodies underscored by thought-provoking lyrics. With its blues-infused swagger and stark existential questions, the new single hints at the distinct and compelling experience that Marky is sure to deliver with the upcoming album. True to his independent spirit, Marky wrote, arranged, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered the album – a testament to his DIY ethos.
Marky's musical journey has been marked by a relentless creative spirit. He's long been a songwriting force, even while navigating a dynamic musical career, including his fiery guitar work in the alt-folk meets heavy-rock outfit, The Jig Show. His 2020 solo debut, 'bruising words and bitter pills,' marked a tentative, yet stylistically expansive return to his songwriting roots.
