Steve Marino recently announced his upcoming new album, Too Late To Start Again, due out July 28th from Pop Wig Records, and today he's back with the album's second single, "Love You More Than Before."

Marino might just be the best kept secret in guitar pop—but not for long. Known for his work playing in bands like Angel Du$t, Jacky Boy, and Bugg, the LA-based songwriter is now stepping into the spotlight with Too Late To Start Again. Made up of ten tracks of power pop gold, the record is a sunny and sweet embrace of crunchy guitars and giant hooks that will charm you the second you hit play.

"Love You More Than Before" follows lead single "Got You (In My World Now) (which drew praise from the likes of Stereogum, BrooklynVegan, and more), and leans into the jangle pop side of Marino's timeless songwriting.

Too Late To Start Again follows Marino's 2019 debut, Fluff, and finds the songwriter more confident than ever before. The album tracks Marino's move from Bloomington, Indiana to Los Angeles and captures the strange combination of excitement and melancholy that can come with a fresh start. Recorded with Ben Lumsdaine, and featuring guitar work from Matt Berry (The Berries, Big Bite) and Kora Puckett (Bugg, Narrow Head), Too Late To Start Again conjures up a Marino's take on a particularly timeless strain of pop rock, providing the kind of instantly lovable earworms that will stick with you long after the record's brisk half hour runtime is over.
