Mark McGuire is back with a gorgeous LP that climbs up and down the desert hills searching for that song that will have you loving him all over again. I remember we’ve had our favorites in the past like Brain Storm (For Erin) or the lo-fi lush Mark that originally brought him to us via Editions Mego or even the noiser Mark that pushed his sound to an almost open and harsher level. This album shows maturity in that sense where things feel like they made in a clear space. The diversity is also there but the expanse within one song reaches new levels for his work which seems to be one of the best routes for his style of music.
“Along The Way” is out on Dead Oceans now
First track reminds me of Cloud About Mercury by David Torn.
@BEN I can hear that
Mark has been one of my favourite artists ever since, Living With Yourself.
I’ve always preferred Marks solo stuff over his work with Emeralds. Looking forward to this listen.
Amazing post / stream, Jakub.
This is great!
So great! Going to pick up the vinyl post haste.
Jakub…you intro’d me to Mark years ago with Brain Storm (for Erin) and I’ve been hooked ever since. I think I have most of his stuff and just downloaded this whole album…thanks pal.
