70s Jazz Rock artist Gary Marks has shared new single “Crossbeams,” the latest song from his upcoming LP, Crossroads, due out on April 18th, 2026 via Lantern Heights Records. 

Marks says of the track:

Choose your memories very carefully, they’re the crossbeams of the world you’re living in. They frame and form who you’re bound to be.

For five decades, Gary Marks has written songs about “power, compassion, and freedom”. Crossroads gathers that into one body of work, including nine previously unheard songs. The songs on each side of the record are chronological, starting with songs from 1976 and ending with songs in the 2020s.

Selected as an official Record Store Day UK/Europe for an April release, this vinyl exclusive traces the continuity of the songwriter.

Marks initially had a career in music in the 1970s, and then refused to tour, but kept writing songs. Crossroads offers a glimpse of that continuation.
