Marcin effortlessly blends melody, harmony, and hand-drum-style percussion across a genre-fluid collection of original compositions and covers on Dragon in Harmony, his highly anticipated full-length debut album for Sony Music Masterworks. Opening with a set of cleverly named originals “Guitar Is Dead” and “I Killed It,” Marcin makes a daringly assertive statement about the state of the guitar and his personal journey as an artist. It’s a theme that extends to the album’s collaborators, with Marcin enlisting the talents of Polyphia’s Tim Henson on “Classical Dragon” and Ichika Nito on “I Don’t Write About Girls” as featured guitarists, turning Dragon in Harmony into a definitive manifesto for a new generation of guitar heroes. Elsewhere, Marcin taps chart-topping rockers Portugal. The Man for the alt radio-ready hit “When the Light Goes” and indie-pop songstress Delaney Bailey for the neo-soul-infused ballad “Allergies.” Produced alongside Dan Book (blink-182, Shania Twain, Britney Spears), Dragon in Harmony also features a range of covers: Justin Timberlake, Sade and Nirvana share album space with Mozart, Debussy, and Miles Davis/Bill Evans, while Book’s studio ingenuity gives Marcin’s chops the heart-pounding impact of chart-topping alt-pop. The resulting 14-track collection is not just a showcase of Marcin’s technical prowess, but also of his innate ability to translate that virtuosity into an enjoyable, long-form artistic statement about his career and the instrument that started it all.
