You may not immediately recognize the name Joe Marson, but there’s a really good chance you’ve heard his music. Having placed songs in everything from Marvel’s Deadpool, to FX’s Justified, to Netflix’s Bloodline, the Brooklyn-based indie rock artist has been everywhere as of late.

Marson’s latest is a blue rock song titled “No Retreat.”

Myspace has the exclusive premiere of the video for “No Retreat,” which is mildly NSFW, and takes listeners to ends of the desert, and the depths of depravity.

Wanting to know more about “No Retreat,” which is the first single off of Marson’s upcoming, as-of-yet unnamed, album, we caught up with the indie rocker to ask him about it.

Tell us about “No Retreat,” and how the video represents the song.

Thematically, there’s the juxtaposition of light and dark, desert exposure and black demonic abyss. I felt the driving energy is captured by the constant forward walking motion in the verses, and the chaos and violence of the dancers in the dark. Everything culminates as I finally become one of these dark figures. They sort of lure me into madness, the world sexual violence, both frightening and beautiful.

I’ve heard you’ve described the song saying it’s about “going all in, head first, fear first,” noting you’ve been to the darkness, and found your way back. What was your personal darkness, and what did you have to do to escape it?

I dealt with crippling depression from my late teens to my mid 20s. I barely made it out alive. I have had a speedy and healthy recovery, but I still feel the internal scars. My soul has been through quite a lot. So high, so low. I think I try to write about the beauty to be found in an otherwise uncaring world.

What would you say to someone who is first being introduced to your music via “No Retreat?”

This is just a taste of what I do. Keep diving deeper. I have a pretty wide spectrum of songs that combine elements of different genres I love besides just straight blues rock. [There’s] lots of soul, funk, and folk in there, too.
