Till I Burn Up - CD

Some of the first people to recognize Delicate Steve's (aka Steve Marion) unique musical talents were renowned artists such as David Byrne, Dirty Projectors, tUnE-yArDs, Mac DeMarco, Dr. Dog, and elder statesmen like Lee Ranaldo and Built to Spill. Steve is likely the only guitarist who has cut records with Sondre Lerche and Death Grip's Zach Hill, been handpicked to open a sold out North American tour for Tame Impala and then provided guitar for a Paul Simon record. Now the acclaimed guitarist is back with his fifth solo studio album, Till I Burn Up. "On the (mostly) instrumental albums he's released as Delicate Steve, Marion's guitar playing is always in the spotlight, but never hogging it - rather, his luminous leads form the emotional undercurrent around which everything else flows. What makes Marion a guitar hero isn't just his technical wizardry, but his music's mission to help you through dark times" (Pitchfork).
