Following the recent re-releases of Mark’s solo albums "The Silent Treatment", "The Value Of Decay" and "Brief Sensuality & Western Violence", his brand new full-length "The Blue Bird" underlines the multi-instrumentalist's broad musical scope, this time guiding you through the elusive nature of happiness.
