'In One Sense' is a four-track EP - the latest project and debut solo release from Indie Electro vocalist Mark Thirkell. Having drawn inspiration from a number of Indie bands and performers such as Roxy Music, Joy Division, The XX, Chvrches, The Cocteau Twins, John Foxx, Visage, Bauhaus, Goldfrapp, Jean Michel Jarre, The Cure and Interpol, the influence drawn from likes of Interpol and The Cure is notable on 'In One Sense'.
The entire EP is accentuated by rich and resonant guitar riffs accompanied by melodic synths alongside Thirkell's haunting lyrics. The first two tracks 'Athena' and 'Say Goodbye' feature intermittent rhythmic drum patterns from David Shaw, later taken over by Steve Wattis on track three - 'The Chime's', putting his signature on the leading feature on the song. To end the project, Mark Thirkell has reserved 'When She's With Me', a track that is once again heavily led by his unique and striking vocals. The production and components of the EP ensure its place firmly within the Indie genre and make it a record to watch out for this year.
Mark has worked on numerous previous projects, on one of which he was the lead vocalist for the synth pop band Ultra Arcanum for their debut LP 'The
Silence Inside'. Another being a collaboration with Alex Ford on which they formed the alternative/dark wave outfit Red
September and recorded two LP's.
'In One Sense' is available to purchase now.
