New Money Mark - Brand New By Tomorrow
Maybe you guys remember Money Mark as the guy who brought the retro-riffing keys to Check Your Head and Ill Communication as the unofficial fourth Beastie Boy. This year sees the release of his fourth full-length, and it's a gear shift, showing the tender underbelly to Mark's otherwise funky compositions. This premiere is a good example of the sincere Money, all acoustic strums and acoustic piano.

And in case you missed it a few weeks back, here's another from the record, drawing on those Check Your Head keys. No Average White Band here.

His first album was full of some pretty catchy stuff, too-- even though I've long since lost the album, I still get "Hand in my Head" stuck in my brain on occassion.

Actually just picked up a used copy of Push the Button this weekend for a dollar. Definitely quality. Under normal circumstances, it's solid. For a dollar, it's frickin fantastic.
Thanks for these! Looking forward to this one.

this guys is brilliant. totally underrated. remember beck's "where it's at?" the catchy hook keyboard lick? that's him, as well as a buttload of other tunes that he never gets credit for. great songwriter too. good for mark, glad to see he's back in the saddle.
