Marvel Years

Yesterday I randomly came across an EP being promoted by the producer himself while scrolling through the Griz Family facebook page. Marvel Years, 19 year-old producer Cory Wythe, is the name of a new face in the electro-soul scene, and his aptly named sophomore EP "Nowhere But Up" left me blown away. This EP contains 5 tracks of electro-soul goodness that reminds me very much so of GRiZ and Pretty Lights. 

The EP showcases this young artist's current talent and great potential. His opener on the EP, "The East" shows an awesome blend of funk and rawness, as it makes great transitions from groovy keys to raunchy-yet-smooth synths. The rest of the EP follows suit; each track a healthy combination of the electronic bass-music we love while staying true to his soulful foundation. The EP ends with, "Reminisce", an homage to the originators of this growing genre. The song reminds me very much so of some early Pretty Lights, while incorporating synth-leads and even some awesome horn samples. 

You can head over to Soundcloud and download the entire EP for free. It's great tunes for the growing summer weather. Take a listen and support this up-and-coming artist.
