New Music: Money Mark
I keep seeing the Money Mark banner ad at the bottom of VOX pages and I received this album from some music pr nerd a few weeks ago and actually really dig so I figured it was worth a post.
Money Mark's solo work isn't anything flashy. It's just some stripped down folk music with some soul undercurrents. There's little hint of his ability to create wonderful bombast (He's one of the key architects of my favorite Beastie Boys' Album - "Check Your Head") but the solid song creation is here. It's also quite raw and honest. He's baring his soul here which is maybe why he doesn't feel the need to break out the synthesizer, fender rhodes, or drum machine.
What he's laid down is enough.
