Marek Johnson creates a highly elegant sound that lies somewhere between singer-songwriter and indie—artsy yet accessible. At times, his music feels like the perfect soundtrack for long autumn nights, warming you up just as the chill sets in. Marek Johnson’s music balances between worldly sophistication and groundedness. His pieces are always enveloped in a magical, internationally evocative flair. Hardly anyone would guess, upon hearing a song like Embrace The Glitch, that it’s the work of a German artist. Recently, Johnson revealed that he prefers writing his music at night—a fact that comes as no surprise. Songs like Lucky Star, Reply, Reply, and Still Here indeed seem to be imbued with a nighttime atmosphere. “I’m still here tonight,” Johnson sings in the latter song. For a moment, you feel like lighting a candle, sitting with him, and listening until the sun rises.
