about

Written / Recorded / Built at home while in the great quarantine of 2020 -a short pop missive on love's capability to be either a four letter word or a malleable thing, subject to interpretation and different manifestations. Or it's a little edifice built around a lofi drum sample

She said love is a four letter word so we're reinventing cupid
now every gesture is encoded
it's hidden meaning is exclusive

You can't believe everything that you've heard
every pop song is a problem
coined by one who couldn't solve them
excluding this

about

Wilson Marks Austin, Texas

Wilson Marks studied jazz in New Orleans and tacos in Austin TX. Pop-sensible melodies over technical, jazz-inspired fretwork. His voice is one part gravel (a la Tom Waits), one part whimsical (more like Harry Nilsson). Songs of love and longing, but more magical than your average fare, like the love and longing from one alien to another, from a merman to his mermaid. ... more
