His vocals are restrained and breathy, evoking a feeling of mournfulness, which are soon joined by an up-tempo beat and scant percussion, gradually rising in texture and tone, reminiscent of Pink Floyd. The video is simple: Marquart is shown playing guitar, slowly being surrounded by encroaching fog, before he wanders off down some mysterious corridors, Indiana Jones style in his Stetston. It&#8217;s a gorgeously compelling track, with the focus on his brilliant guitar work and vocals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find out more about A Bad Think from his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.abadthink.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/abadthink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/abadthink\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Read what we had to say about his previous release, &#8216;Feel Me&#8217;, <a href=\"https:\/\/essentiallypop.com\/epop\/2019\/04\/a-bad-think-feel-me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block;
