Marco Benevento proves himself as one of the most prolific new voices of his era with the release of Between The Needles & Nightfall. He blurs genres from song to song, and more often from measure to measure, with his own take on simple pop pleasures, dance party rave-ups and art jazz experimentation. The results range from the day-glo electro-rock of 'It Came From You' to the simply-stated lullaby 'Ila Frost' to the shimmering Arcade Fire-meets-Brad Mehldau anthem 'Two Of You.' Speaking in modern sonic tongues, all cut-and-pasted, tweaked-out and glitchy, this is music full of wide-eyed wonder that rejoices in the limitless horizons of sound and melody.
