Model Man (AKA Mark Brandon) embodies the free-spirited culture that emerged with the acid house revolution. His influences are broad, yet tied together by a strong desire to share his story and spark emotion in the listener. In his hometown he experienced the peak of UK garage and jungle/drum’n’bass. From his early forays into music, playing guitar, to his recent incarnation as Model Man, Mark has always drawn on his eclectic tastes to transmit a range of different feelings. His debut self-titled album traverses a variety of UK-influenced sounds imbued with Model Man's classical training and his eclectic tastes from Steve Reich to Todd Edwards and Bill Withers; piano keys dancing alongside 2-step beats, jungle breaks slamming down as wistful melodies drift overhead.[info sheet from distr.]
