Atmospheric storyteller and producer Max Taylor started from the sun-soaked dirt roads of Sebastian, Florida as a new artist unbound by genre. Max was raised on blues and classic rock from his guitarist father before becoming obsessed with melancholic legends like Lana Del Rey and Radiohead. Early releases garnered support from his close friends and family, some of which he later collaborated with like Dave Scott and dura. In his latest self-titled LP, he delves into the complexities of sexuality, nostalgia, and isolation, painting vivid emotional worlds that invite listeners to explore their own stories. His artistry attempts to reflect a community of voices, each contributing to a shared journey of introspection and connection. Often working without lyrics, he treats soundscapes as narratives. His upcoming projects promise to lean into forms of quiet documentation, concerned with place, memory, and the pressure of time. And most importantly, the impossibility of escape.
