Consuming with a stylish jazz and hip-hop fusion, “Between Gigs” is the latest single from Nick Marks, a New York-based Australian composer and producer. The effort marks a slight aesthetic departure for Marks, who usually touts a more jazztronica sound. “Between Gigs” was crafted as something befitting for the “in-between moments of life,” often filled with anticipation and waiting for the next big thing. The single features songwriting, arrangements, production, and performance from Marks.
Following a quick brassy escalation to kickstart the track, ensuing keys show a lounge-friendly smoothness. Chilled-out brass infusions approach the one-minute turn. Breezy keys play with enjoyable expressiveness around the mid-point, continuing the compelling soundscape. The final minute enamors with slithering brass warmness, spacey keys, and suave guitar swipes. “Between Gigs” is a debonair showcase in melody and musicianship from Nick Marks.
