Marc Ribler's latest effort, "Every Picture Tells A Horror Story," stares straight into the moment we're living through. A sense of collective unease is spun into a piece of music that invites listeners to look closer. The American singer-songwriter assembles a powerful trio for the song, with Ribler on guitar and vocals, Charley Drayton on drums, and Jack Daley on bass. Ribler, Drayton, and Daley composed the song, giving the track a collaborative foundation that matches the weight of the subject matter.
American singer-songwriter and member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band Stevie Van Zandt produced the record with Ribler, adding another important dimension to the recording. Even as the focus is on Ribler and the band's collective performance, his presence helps place the song within a broader musical lineage.
"Every Picture Tells A Horror Story" pictures are more than moments in time, they can mirror a world growing more fragile and uncertain. The song's basic message seems to be a sense of horror and disbelief at the possibility of losing something built over 250 years, while suggesting this concern may be only one part of a much larger picture. The track has a different sort of energy, a determination not to succumb to it. The track is about looking for light, protecting light and keeping light alive.
