MARCUS EATON’S EP INVISIBLE LINES DUE MAY 22 CONSIDERS HUMANITY, THE ENVIRONMENT, AND HOW WE CAN ALL BE CLOSER American Songwriter premiered the new single “Closer” In challenging times music can be a healing force, and Marcus Eaton’s new collection of songs comes at a crucial moment when listening is one of the most comforting things we can do. Invisible Lines, due for release digitally and on limited edition vinyl on May 22, contains songs of contemplation and exploring ways to unite rather than divide, with the new single “Closer,” out today, prescient in its message. “You can be right next to someone and feel a thousand miles away, or you can be a thousand miles away and feel like you are right next to someone,” Eaton says. His songs are masterful and gorgeously melodic, weaving exquisite guitar arrangements with mellifluous vocals, while his themes deal with intimacy and separation as well as the innate value of nature and a heartfelt entreaty for the environment. Demonstrating how music can calm and inspire, Invisible Lines is just the aural tonic for a world that has been forced to close in on itself and reconsider a way forward.

Cory Phillips definitely has something to prove. The now Lawrence, Kansas-based singer/songwriter and his group, the Band of Light, are currently delivering his second studio album, SEXTHIRSTYLOVEHUNGER, released end of May 2021. The entire collection is brimming with summer party gold. It’s been over 10 fast years since he released anything larger than a single, and this long-awaited follow up to Phillips’ self-titled 2009 debut is meant to make up for lost time. Phillips and his bands have played coast to coast for a decade, amassing fans drawn to his erotic singing and bedroom funk. Yet only the time that Covid-sequestering afforded him allowed for the definitive recording of his decade’s better work. The new album is an effort in innovation. In the midst of the health crisis, new freedoms and limitations developed for the musician with a secret life pursuing his PhD in climatology at the University of Kansas. Gigs cancelled, tours off, Phillips converted part of his house into a recording studio and brought in his Lawrence/Kansas City-based ‘Band of Light’ along with wizard engineer Robert Rebeck (Tech N9ne) to complete the 14-song hitlist of retro-tinged solid gold.
