Marcellus Hall (Railroad Jerk, White Hassle) has released his third solo album, I WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN. It is Hall’s first solo album in ten years, following The First Line in 2011 and his self-released Afterglow (2013). The album is complete with catchy, “infectious power-pop gems” that reverberate with a familiarity found in musicians like Bob Dylan and Lord Huron.
Marcellus Hall says of the accompanying track for the title track, “The sentiment for the song arose from a genuine, desperate, romantic feeling that I was experiencing several years ago. I decided to make a song of it. Damon, our bass player, insisted that I make it the title track. I think he was drawn to the fact that the lyrics are more naked than other lyrics of mine. The video for the song was inspired by a 1950s film about a famous painter.”
Marcellus Hall is also an illustrator of children’s books and The New Yorker. He is currently working on a long-form memoir based on his coming-of-age in the indie-rock scene during the 1990s.
