“Mallman’s ‘70s-redolent
music could be huge...” – Pitchfork
“It’s a noir battlefield of car crashes and lightning
strikes. It’s about being too sad for words,” Mark Mallman says of his new album Double Silhouette, set
for release on October 9th. Dark themes not-withstanding, the album
is led by an incredibly catchy single, the title track “Double Silhouette” which was recently premiered by American Songwriter and is available
for free download now. Mallman will embark on a two-week tour
in support of the album in mid-October, kicked off by a hometown record release
show at the Ritz Theater in
Minneapolis on October 13th.
Double Silhouette is Mallman’s
latest example of drawing a line between insanity and genius. It’s a ritual that he has built a career on,
and it has has earned him opening spots on stages with artists as diverse as Green Day, Cat Power and Guided By
Voices to name just a few.
Additionally, Mallman’s songs
have found their way to the airwaves of MTV,
VH1, NPR, and dozens of major motion picture trailers and video games. His work has been written about in Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Time Out New York,
etc., and Mallman is also a featured
contributor to the “Music Theory for
Dummies” series alongside Bob Moog,
John Cage and Andrew Bird.
Despite this substantial and credible resume, Mallman has also been characterized
throughout his career as a madman, though in actuality, he’s a mad genius. This fact is no better exemplified than in Mallman’s signature “Marathon” events, the latest of which
took place in September and saw him performing a 150-hour-long song non-stop
(even in his sleep!) from the back of a van traveling from NYC to LA. The event
was covered by Wired,
USA
Today, NBC
News 4 New York and many more.
Mark Mallman’s new album Double Silhouette will be released
October 9th. The title track
is streaming and available for download now.
