Marcus Whale – The Hunger

Marcus Whale’s The Hunger is a haunting ambient pop odyssey; a touchingly twisted exploration of doomed infatuation and a desperate plea for transformation, all told through the bloody lens of a vampire love story. We caught up with Marcus to get a better understanding of the meaning, inspiration and creation of this uniquely dark album experience.
