“Song For Ella” touts a consuming pop sound steeped in ’60s nostalgia, marking another success from Cap’n Marble. The duo, previously impressing with tracks like “Come 2 California” and “Bed of Sun,” has shown adeptness in the past with both surf-tinged and contemplative delights. “Song For Ella” rides on a suave, throwback feel — building enjoyably to the “I’ve been up, I’ve been down,” escalation rounding the 30-second mark. The duo of John Dasilva and Ryan Arshonsky show quality songwriting and a strong throwback aesthetic throughout this release, parts haunting and parts infectious.
