Marc Biala returns for his third spotlight on this blog, and once again, he proves why he’s one of Austin’s most intriguing multi-hyphenates. A psychiatric and transgender specialist by day and a boundary-pushing pop alchemist by night, Biala fuses emotion, wit, and genre-bending instincts into music that feels both therapeutic and boldly original.
“Glitchy + Bitchy” is his most playful release yet — a cheeky, high-energy track that leans fully into humor without ever sacrificing craft. From the opening line, “You said the moon is just a lamp in the sky,” Biala sets the tone for a song built around lovable chaos. The writing lands punchlines with precision, especially moments like “How’d you fail the CAPTCHA twice?!” and the exasperated final question: “Wait… do fish drink water?”
Vocally, Biala delivers with character and control. His performance balances exasperation, affection, and swagger, using tone shifts and expressiveness to sell every joke. The playful back-and-forth ad-libs (“why?” / “really?”) add personality and make the track feel even more alive.
Production-wise, “Glitchy + Bitchy” is vibrant and textural. The buzzing synths, gritty low end, and punchy drums create a kinetic backdrop that mirrors the “glitchy” theme, while the robotic vocal effects cleverly reinforce the song’s concept without overwhelming the mix. Despite the experimental flourishes, everything stays tight and catchy — a testament to Biala’s instincts as both a producer and storyteller.
In just a few minutes, Marc Biala turns relationship frustration into a sharp, danceable earworm. “Glitchy + Bitchy” is witty, memorable, and effortlessly fun — a standout moment.
