KAL MARKS

Life Is Murder

(Sophomore Lounge - SL058) LP $13.00 (Out-of-stock)

With help from Mike Geacone on bass and Biss Mess’s Nick Egersheim on drums, Bostonian Carl Shane’s alter ego Kal Marks evolved from a variety of outsider / freak pop familiar to fans of Daniel Johnston, Devendra Banhart, Espers, into downright crushing, well-crafted, on-fire indie rock. Life is Murder is the culmination of all things good in contemporary pop songwriting — the darkness, wit, and cosmic charm of a 20-something on the verge of erupting.
