Marc Soucy's long-overdue debut single goes off with a bang. "Tashkent Club Fire," the first taster of his adventurous new project, "STIR Soundscapes Evoking Realities Only Imagined," is available globally on June 21, 2024. And if this track indicates, the wait has been worth it.
A music industry veteran, Soucy's thumbprint is slight, and that's precisely the point. "Tashkent Club Fire" doesn't play by genre lines, merging atmospheric textures with organic instrumentation that's simultaneously haunting, elegant, and weirdly comforting. It's not quite jazz, classical, or new age. Right from the opening notes, Soucy draws listeners into a narrative without lyrics. The track reads as a memory rekindled with a flicker of life layered, abstract, and full of feeling. There's tension here, yes, but also a spiritual release. It evokes the vision of smoke curling into the midnight air, of dance floors fallen silent in the face of something more substantial and inscrutable than rhythm.
For years, Soucy, a producer behind the scenes, has brought an experienced ear and a fearless heart to his compositions. You can feel that freshness. "Tashkent Club Fire" is a deeply personal and intimately universal record, like a dream you didn't know you had until the last note had long since vanished.
