Dylan Marlowe Mid-Twenties Crisis (CD)

(Sony Music) 15 tracks

Dylan Marlowe is an up-and-coming Sony Music Nashville artist rooted in the classic skills of country music's past - but finding new ways to deliver three chords and the truth - proving that tradition and convention are very different things.

The majority of the album was produced by Joe Fox, with “The Fence” produced by Mikey Reeves. The album epitomizes the rollercoaster ride of life in your twenties, with Marlowe drawing inspiration from his own life for several of the songs. Marlowe wrote the title track single-handedly and completed the project at the end of the album creation process. Mid-Twenties Crisis blends Nashville storytelling and country-punk energy with angsty defiance and a clever grin as Marlowe captures the beautiful anguish of the 1920s decade.

The album's themes range from raising a glass to old friends, reflecting on life, remembering your roots, experiencing both crushing heartbreak and infatuation, and everything in between. In addition to 10 new tracks, the project also features several of Marlowe's previously released tracks, including the “very catchy” (Music Row) “Devil On My Shoulder,” “Heart Brakes” and “Boys Back Home” (feat. Dylan Scott), which is currently in the Top 25 and growing in popularity on country radio.
