Editions Mego – EMEGO 107
Mark McGuire operates chiefly as guitarist in the legendary Emeralds.
However, he also has racked up an impressive set of solo releases over
the last few years (albeit mainly in small to micro print runs).
Living With Yourself is his new album and we at Editions Mego hope to
meet any demand which may arise from this fine selection of modern
crafted guitar tunes. Focusing on his family, early friendships and the
problems that inevitably develop through years of knowing someone, it
takes McGuire's sound even further out, and contains some his most
accomplished songs to date.
The opening track is fine example of McGuire's magic technique of taking
a lone acoustic guitar then transforming the track into bliss-out
electro wash looping off into the distance. And tracks like ‘Clouds
Rolling In’ and ‘Brain Storm’ take off where such McGuire classics as
‘The Marfa Lights’ (which incidentally is planned for a future reissue)
left off. While connoisseurs of his sound will find all they desire in
here, many superb surprises await around every corner. These are songs
that cruise, bubble and rise to the top.
