APTrack Review
Luxury by singer-songwriter /guitarist Ian McFarland is a peppy indie rocker with dark and light emotional vibes. It might be about shunning life momentarily to ultimately find happiness at least that is my take away. I do know that it moves at a fervent pace as life does with an almost (maybe) manic inspired chorus (lyrically) and then at some point get so cooly dreamy as the drums fall into half time beats and the guitars push psychedelic meets blues rock tones in such an absolutely beautiful way. McFarland's decision to make the track sort of bipolar is emotionally and artistically brilliant. McFarland is based out of New York and L.A. by way of New Hampshire.
