The synthesizer has had an increase in popularity during the 21st century. It can, at times, be overused and the instrument can loose its unique ability. However, when done properly it can produce wonders such as Dalton M.
A musician from the Connecticut area, Dalton M. brings a sound similar to that of The Magnetic Fields, but with more of an electro vibe. Songs such as Goodbye 50’s (inspired by rock‘n’roll from the era) and Such Fools So Cruel bring a rare combination to the table of honest lyrics and whimsical melodies. What may be even more impressive than the songs themselves, is that only one man is responsible for this indie/soulful sound: Alex Marans.
Alex Marans, as they say, is Dalton M. After splitting from well known Connecticut band The Smyrk, Marans has been working on his EP, entitled: The Flashlight, EP which is in its final stages. Every rhythm, melody and chord is produce from the hands, lungs and imagination of Marans solely. His surrealist sound screams individuality and is something worth checking-out. You can listen to all of Dalton M’s latest musical endeavors, as well as keep up with his EP release and tour dates at Myspace.com/thedaltonm or follow him: Twitter.com/hidaltonmhere.
