Named “one of the most talented guitarists of his generation” by Guitar World, MARCIN has been captivating audiences across the globe with simply a guitar in hand. His signature performance style and solo-arranging brilliance has been brought to new heights on his long-awaited full-length debut album, Dragon in Harmony (September 13, Sony Music Masterworks). Available for pre-order now, the album features original compositions as well as a sweeping repertoire of covers arranged by the guitar wunderkind and co-produced alongside Dan Book, with special guests Portugal. The Man, Tim Henson and Ichika Nito.

Out today is Marcin’s latest single, “Allergies” featuring vocals by Delaney Bailey, who skyrocketed in recent years through TikTok.  “Years ago, I posted the intro to “Allergies” on Instagram with no expectations,” says Marcin. “I wrote the intro as a sort of antithesis to what I was normally doing. This was a rebellion to make something purely beautiful, and not necessarily difficult and “cutting edge.”  The piece resonated and guitarists began to cover it, even though it wasn’t officially released. “I knew it would eventually become a real song, but it took many years before I understood where to take it. I approached it as a songwriter. I love Delaney’s voice, it’s very pure and direct.  For the lyrics, she connected my title “Allergies” to a relationship. It was so creative, how she found a way into the music.”

The song follows the single “Classical Dragon,” featuring Polyphia’s Tim Henson – listen here and watch the video, starring the two trailblazing guitarists.    “I was born in 2000, the Year of the Dragon, and I’m releasing my debut in 2024, another Year of the Dragon, so it felt like a very natural idea to follow,” says Marcin. “The dragon is a fiery mythical beast, untamed and chaotic. And then you have this idea of harmony, which is the opposite of that. In recent years, I’ve been doing so many things but not necessarily fusing them into a whole — everything was in bits. But now I’m finally making an artistic statement that is cohesive rather than fractured. The dragon is in harmony.”
