Bio:
Marco Glühmann, vocalist of Hamburg's art rock band Sylvan, will release his first solo album "A Fragile Present" and will open the gate to a musical garden full of stirring songs, emotional melodies and heart-touching lyrics.With his unique voice he knows how to capture and embrace the listener with each blossoming note and his compositions are the bedrock of sincere words about the fragility of what we should value most.
The Hamburg-based rock band SYLVAN is a force to be reckoned with in artrock. After 13 years in business they can look back at a successful and artistic development and on top of that pride themselves to be one of the few German artrock bands enjoying international success.With "SCENERIES" (2012), SYLVAN's eighth and brand new studio album is about to hit the stage.
Album:
I have been a Sylvan fan for a very long time. It all began somewhere during the late 1980s or early 1990s. After all of those years of listening to the emotional performances, Marco Glühmann is capable of making, and the music itself, which enhances that emotional delivery. You know he is certain to capture that feeling and the emotions on this, his first solo album, A Fragile Present; which will be released June 14th, on the Gentle Art Of Music/Soulfood label, out of Germany.There are so many musicians and singers that would love to bring to both a studio album and a concert stage, the emotion Marco is capable of bringing to an album. He is able to transfer those feelings of emotion like no other singer in progressive rock today. I know in the past I have referred to him as “The King of Pain”, but that was in the sense that he was so keenly aware of it and could explain it so well to listeners, through his vocals. He has empathy, and that is rare to find in musicians, and singers these days. But more importantly, he can transfer that empathy to his audiences. That is what has made Sylvan such a sensation in the world of progressive rock. Those of you who do not believe me, should take a full listen to Sylvan’s album, Posthumous Silence, released in 2006. Who else, in the modern era of progressive rock, has been able to describe the feelings of that concept album. Who else could tell the story so completely, and bring the listener into the experience. “The story of a father who finds his daughter’s diary after she commits suicide and leaves him”. Marco, now, 18 years after that epic album, has decided to release his first solo album, A Fragile Present. It is indeed a Fragile Present, which we should all listen to and appreciate. No, it is not the tear jerker that PS was. In fact, although some songs on this album have that Sylvan influence, (Johnny Beck, from Sylvan plays guitars), A Fragile Present has a much more joyful outlook on life and how we all should capture important moments and not be slowed or burdened by past mistakes or fear.Marco pulled together an amazing line-up of musicians for his first solo album including: Steve Rothery (Marillion), who plays guitar on “My Eyes Are Wide Open”; Billy Sherwood (YES), created the choir for “Hear Our Voice”; Kalle Wallner (RPWL), played guitars and bass; Johnny Beck (Sylvan), also played guitars; Yogi Lang (RPWL), played keyboards; Markus Grützner (RPWL), played bass; and Tommy Eberhardt, played drums. Marco Glühmann, sings all lead vocals, and plays keyboards, and guitars.Marco Glühmann says that , “Reach Out” and “Black the Shade Out” come from songwriting sessions he held, around 2010. The latter even including the original intro from the demo. “These two songs are a kind of window into my musical past. With all the other songs, I let my emotions guide me: the vocal melodies are mostly spontaneous ideas, and the lyrics were largely written during the first demo recording, so everything is very personal.”The album opens with “Hear Our Voice”. Glorious electric lead guitar, drums, and keyboards immediately and powerfully herald the opening of this dramatic album. Then, the pace slows and soft acoustic guitar takes over. Marco sings, “Show me the way to find out how the stars can shine so bright. Can you hear our voices. In the coldness of this space. Hear our voice and listen to what is said”. Singing support with him is the Chris Squire-like vocals of Billy Sherwood, of Yes. It is a fantastic sound and a superb song to open the album. Sherwood supporting Glühmann. “Our words will bring consoling light to melt our pain away!” They trade vocals and lyrics as the song continues, before an awesome electric guitar solo takes over. This solo album is off to an immense and strong start!
