Money Mark - Brand New By Tomorrow
[4/5] While you may not even realize it, you've heard Money Mark before. He's the man responsible for providing his multi-instrumental talents to albums by artists like Beck and Yoko Ono. Likely, it's his contributions to the Beastie Boys' classic
Check Your Head you'd most easily recognize. (The killer organ on "So What'cha Want"? Yep, that's him.) But while most articles constantly name-check the people he's played with, it's rare that one praises his solo work. Until now. Instead of the usual lo-fi junk-hop experiments Money Mark records,
Brand New By Tomorrow is a collection of crisp, melodic pop tunes that showcase not only his musical abilities, but his vocal skills as well. Maybe he's getting older, maybe his tastes are changing-but whatever the case, it works for him. Honestly, there's not a bad song on the whole album. With the release of
Brand New By Tomorrow, Mark's musical legacy will be more than just a footnote in someone else's bio.
