Marcin has released “PANICATTACK,” a new single that marks the first time he has both sung and played guitar on one of his records. Made with guitarist and co-producer RJ Pasin, the track pushes his percussive technique into a darker arrangement that combines metal weight, flamenco articulation and electronic texture. It follows their 2025 collaboration “Art of Guitar.”
The song had an unusually long gestation for Marcin: he says he worked on it for almost two years and played evolving versions at shows before settling on the recording. Vocals now function as another rhythmic and melodic layer beside the rapid guitar passages. The release also signals a broader change in presentation, built around a stark black, white, silver and red visual palette rather than treating the electric guitar as a brief detour from his acoustic work.
Marcin directed the accompanying video in an abandoned Warsaw office building. He appears as a corporate puppet master controlling five dancers, with choreography by Will West translating the song’s tension into movement. “PANICATTACK” arrives after July’s Live Sessions EP and ahead of a new album expected in 2027, making it the first clear statement of the sound he is carrying into that next chapter.
