Mark Ge [NS044] 2012 lo-fi
Your Blues Are Rough

No-Source is pleased to ring in the New Year and embrace 2012 with a release from Mark Ge. Mark Ge is a musician and writer from the North-Eastern United States. His first EP includes a collection of lo-fi bedroom recordings and one studio recording. Most of "Your Blues Are Rough" is just Mark Ge singing and playing guitar. The lo-fi quality really brings the listener and these tracks to a more intimate setting. "Brother" and "The Other Side" share a similar aural joy found in early tape recordings from the Mountain Goats. "Stephanie" on the other hand is eerily similar to Casiotone For The Painfully Alone with drum machine and simple synth melodies. "The Road", the only studio recording on this release, sees a more polished sound and additional instrumentation from Mark. Additional production on tracks 1-3,5-6 by Tim Dwyer.
