I recently met Mark Mulcahy at a gig in the rocket bar in leeds, having never heard him before, I spend the whole night asking myself "why?". The soul-searching and depth evident in each of his songs was frankly quite shocking. Even if you never buy this CD make sure you find a way to listen to 'I just shot myslf in the foot again'. I've had this CD for 2 weeks now and it has yet to leave my CD player. If you're a fan of David Gray or Kieran Goss or the like then this is a 'must have'.

Fathering's Son Also Rises
29 Nov 2000
Format:Audio CD
First, there was Miracle Legion, a mighty, jangly pop band crippled by major label high jinks. Then, there was Polaris, the mysterious and infectious house band of the late, lamented Nick show "Pete & Pete." Now there is simply Mark Mulcahy, a gifted songwriter with a knack for quiet songs of seething beauty. The four songs on this "single" from his forthcoming album are one small step beyond his excellent solo debut "Fathering." More acoustic, more melodic and maybe -- just maybe -- more accessible.
"I Just Shot Myself..." seems ready for AAA radio, an immediately appealing peek into the mind of a romantic scalawag (one of Mulcahy's favorite subjects). "900 Yards Away" picks up the pace with an acoustic running of the bulls. Elvis Costello's ballad "Shipbuilding" is sparse and spooky, with celloist-to-the-stars Jane Scarpantoni lending a hand. Finally, "Frisky Said" is a fun, shimmying rocker that states "Your way was fine/Until I found mine." Mulcahy has found his way, hitting his stride as a solo artist who deserves a wider, attentive audience.
Bonus video of a televised performance of "We're Not in Charleston" also included. A lot of good for a little green.

this was my introduction to mark
30 April 2003
Format:Audio CD
I've been a big fan of Miracle Legion and Polaris for a long time now. I always knew Mark had a solo career going on, and knew he was releasing records, but somehow I didn't really focus on it.
On one warm morning early last year, I bought "Surprise Surprise Surprise" (Miracle Legion's second major recording) from Mezzotint's website. When it came in the mail, I also recieved this (for free -- nice people they are at Mezzotint). Well, I got hooked to "Surprise" easily; this one took some warming up to for some reason.
But when the music from this little EP sank in, it really, really sank in. This is beautiful, amazing, wonderful music, and Mark Mulcahy is truly a talent in a time when good music is so rare.
I'm so glad I have this EP. The four songs are infectious, little pieces of quiet beauty. And as a bonus, you even get a quicktime video featuring Mark play "We're Not In Charleston Anymore"!
I can't wait to purchase Mark's other recordings. Thanks Mezzotint, and most of all, thank you Mark for making my days shine brighter than they usually do.
