"Delicate Steve" may not be the most awe-inspiring band name. But the man behind the New Jersey quintet, Steve Marion, is impressive beyond his years. The 23-year-old polymath plays over 40 instruments and recorded his first four track EP at the age of 12 in his bedroom. Marion's band's most recent album, Wondervisions, was released in February on David Byrne’s Luaka Bop record label. It's an instrumental experimentation that is not weighed down by lyrics. This track, “Butterfly,” blends electro waves of Afro-pop rhythms with slide guitar.
