Nick Marks returns with the third and final installment from his vibrant trilogy, "Cinematic Chromatics Vol. III," a stunning mix of jazz, and cinematic soundscapes. This EP proves Marks' masterful and invincible architect, effortlessly blending into one golden, kinetic experience of neo-soul, hip-hop, lo-fi beats, and orchestral elegance.
For nearly two years, Marks has guided listeners on a story of transformation inside his sound world, with each chapter of Cinematic Chromatics serving as a 'mood board.' Heralded as a "great fusion of hip-hop, funk, and jazz where Weather Report can sit alongside Thundercat," this series has earned him critical praise worldwide, playlist placements, and a devoted fanbase.
In Vol. III, Marks pushes beyond all new boundaries of imagination. The EP glides effortlessly from the infectious, groove-oriented rhythms of Brooklyn and Paris to frenetic drum and bass painted with Coltrane-esque improvisation.` Tracks shift seamlessly from soulful R&B textures to delicate chamber arrangements, finally bursting open to an intimate and expansive cinematic ending.
But leading the charge is the title track, "Current Location", a song that crystallizes the elasticity of time, space, and self. If this is how BADBADNOTGOOD and MNDSGN would score a film with Tom Jobim and Quincy Jones as creative consultants, this is also the sonic landscape Marks builds with attention and imagination. With "Cinematic Chromatics Vol. III", Marks welcomes listeners into a world that transcends boundaries and reshapes genre.
