Indieee music!

It's inevitable. It's a calling. It's your vocation as a student.

As a student, you have to appreciate indie music. It's only natural to support the underdog, no big labels behind them, usually just talent and a sincere voice behind it.

One such indie artist which has my thumbs up and head filled with his songs is Mark Wilson. It's really strange how I came across him. You see, there's this guy Mark Wilson who used to be in Rutland Hall and he joined this We love Mark Wilson group and turned out to be not referring to him but this indie artist. Long story short, I checked out www.markwilsonmusic.com, downloaded the free Extended Play (which is basically a short album, somewhere between a single and an album) and here i am, raving about him.

His voice is unique, reminds me of Pete Teo abit. There's this one song, Stones and Sticks on his Myspace page which has this sense of a climax coming with the crescendos but yet, the climax never comes, proving that it's not the destination that matters, but the journey. Some of his lyrics are really cryptic, yet to decipher them all really but beautiful nevertheless. Amazing how his voice and the music weave together to form excellent compositions.

Brilliant artist. Oh and the EP is free. Didn't I mention that?
