Money Mark

With tracks like "Everyday I Die a Little" and acrimonious lyrics like "you radiate nothing," Brand New by Tomorrow appears to be a break-up album of sorts. But it's the sunniest break-up ever: mellow AM gold keyboard grooves; chipper, chummy guitar licks; and some downright jolly electro-drumming. Oh, and that bitter tome to the lover who "radiates nothing"? It practically skips along, thanks to a perky little beat that seems to have been pinched from a Casio demo button, circa 1985. Would that all our break-ups sounded like Money Mark's.
