Back at it again with the second half of his 2 part EP release, Vermont producer, Marvel Years has returned to present the second installation of Voyage Ahead. One month ago, Marvel Years introduced the first half of his most innovative work yet, in which he produced and played every musical element in each one of his tracks. Today, we have the pleasure of premiering “Dive” off the second half of this ingenious compilation, which aims to encapsulate the more hard hitting soundscapes of his project. Focusing on using guitar sounds, the bass heavy energy of this track is infectious, making this one we will have on repeat for the foreseeable future. The entire second half of this EP is crafted perfectly, displaying the different thought processes that went into the composition of the sounds in each of the 4 tunes. Both parts of the Voyage Ahead EP is not one you should be sleeping on. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Dive” and the rest of the Voyage Ahead 2 EP, a certified bop.
“Dive” is a track I made to showcase the heavier side of my music. I wanted to make a bass-heavy track that revolved around a guitar riff and fuse the two elements together. The end result is a gritty, guitar-focused bass banger that delivers energy from the first note. – Marvel Years
Diving Deep w/ Marvel Years
1. What originally made you want to pursue music full time? Was there any moment in your life that made you stop and realize that this was something you wanted to be serious about?
In high school, I always found myself messing around and making beats late at night but it wasn’t until I started uploading my music online and received my first show offer that I really considered it an option. I ended up seeing RJD2 live my freshman year of college and after that show, I realized this was something that I really wanted to pursue and the rest is history. I’ve been doing it ever since that moment.
2. It can be very hard sometimes separating music from day to day life when it’s your whole career. How do you personally separate your artist life from your everyday life, and have you faced any challenges doing so?
Being an artist nowadays can be hard sometimes because it involves so much more than just the music. There is a whole online presence that comes with being an artist, especially an independent artist. So it can be tough sometimes to take a breather and walk away from social media for a day or two, but I have found that going outside and doing outdoor activities like skating or hiking have been a huge benefit to me and can help disassociate the personal from professional aspects of life.
3. Being an artist in the spotlight, you have a continuously growing impact on your fanbase and the scene. Due to the nature of this, have you had any fan interactions that have particularly hit home for you as an artist and why?
Meeting fans who I have inspired is something that I will never get used to still. It’s an amazing feeling to hear from someone how my musical journey impacted them so much that they decided to chase their dreams as well. It really makes all of the long hours on the road worth it to hear something like that.
4. What’s next for Marvel Years? What are some goals you’re trying to hit with your team as well as for yourself?
Lots of new music. I am planning on writing an album and releasing it hopefully early next year so that is something I am really excited about. I also want to curate a tour around the album and make it especially unique to the new music and build the show around that. A lot of great things are on the horizon and I can’t wait to show everyone what I have been working on.
