LISTEN: Cap’n Marble’s “Han Solo” Brings Psychedelic Storytelling to Life

LA-based Cap’n Marble is a postmodern pastiche of bygone eras, reimagined and repackaged for the contemporary consumer. Consisting of the rival creative forces of John Dasilva and Ryan Arshonsky, the duo is the synthesis of opposing energies that combine to form something greater than the sum of its parts. From their modest home studio, they handcraft each unique track into a world of its own, which together comprise the greater “Marble Universe.” 

Cap’n Marble welcomes you to their self-proclaimed, self-titled sonic world on “Han Solo.” The jovial psychedelia of the band’s new single is a stunning, immersive listen that beautifully introduces the duo’s nuanced individuality in psych-rock. Throughout this immediately captivating performance, Cap’n Marble achieves a balance between dream and reality. While the loose, infectious guitars and jangly melodies sprinkle the listener with otherworldly colors, the duo details a much harsher reality in the lyrics. “Han Solo” spins fear of the unknown into a whimsical, dramatic track with vibrant imagery that evokes an eerie situation. The dark songwriting is palpably juxtaposed with the playful nature of the instrumentation, almost as if Cap’n Marble were easing their own anxieties while landing on an anthem for modern times. “Han Solo” is another fantastic single from Cap’n Marble, a band you’ll want to keep on your radar for the foreseeable future.
