Mark DuBois has a very Tallahassee sound. I haven’t heard a ton of music out of the Tallahassee area—mostly folks like Jake Tobin, Ben Varian, and all of their various projects—but if you ask me, Mark DuBois fits right in there, which makes sense since he also plays drums in Tobin’s live band. Which makes even further sense when you hear his quirky, jazzed-out lounge jams. It seems that whatever is in the water down there, they’re all drinking it.

“Circles of Love”—off of DuBois’ album Grouting—is a bouncy little introduction that immediately warms up to you like that stray cat that won’t seem to leave your stoop. It’s a breezy little ditty whose moving parts are few, though well-oiled. Breezy, yes, which is probably why Mark released the album earlier this spring. Whoops, slept on that one, I guess.

Grouting is available now via his Bandcamp page.
