Texas singer/songwriter Marcus William Striplin named his cosmic folk rock project Margaret Chavez in honor of his mother, who nurtured his interest in music from an early age–in spite of his abusive father and the hardships of her own life. Striplin tells one harrowing chapter of her story in “Honeysuckles,” a track from the upcoming album Into An Atmosphere that shows her continued influence on his artistic spirit. But on his latest single, “H O R A,” he takes a broader look at time and space in the project’s most progressive outing to date.
