Mark David redefines psychedelic pop, deftly combining memorable lyrics, melodic guitar-driven choruses and rich synthetic textures. Into the Blue is an eclectic yet cohesive collection of songs in which David explores alternating currents: the lures of life lost online, in the "dark casino" and waiting for the last call for "al-co-ha" contrasted with the search for warmth, human connection and visions of a world beyond.
