Mark Howard Forges a Acoustic Rock Continuum With ‘The Light Behind Us’
Mark Howard has a vintage style. His soundscapes form along the 70s/80s ethos, exploring humanistic things in the way that makes you think, feel, and act. Every track you listen to leaves a profound impact in its wake. His latest is ‘The Light Behind Us’ single, an acoustic rock composition that is in a similar vein of The Beatles, The Byrds, with a tinge of Queen and The Beach Boys. As the riffs rise into the acoustics, it takes on alternative and indie dimensions that are reminiscent of the 90s as well.
It throws light on the gravity and beauty of human connections, especially in love and relationships. In the backdrop, he images a sun-cast landscape. The instrumental resonance, of the melodies, riffs, and bass lines, all culminate in forming a light that plays into the theme. Mingled with his hypnotic tone of voice, it spreads out with a grand sense of contemplation and wonder. Listen Now!
