Just look at that. Is that not the most stunning press pic you have ever seen? That is Mark Fosco—previously of the Toronto before-they-were-famous supergroup Marvelous Darlings (which also included Matt Delong from No Warning and Ben Cook of Fucked Up)—who now has a solo project called Marvelous Mark. We premiered his EP earlier this year, which proved that he is marvelous both by name and nature, and now he's back with a full album called Crushin', which is premiereing below.Sounding a bit like Big Star with power-pop overtones and a pop-punk driving force, Crushin' is a collection of songs bursting with feeling that sound like they were written while the sun was either going down or coming up. Sifting through you'll find a little bit of Rites of Spring, a little bit of Yuck—a little bit of everything combined to make something very marvelous and extremely crushin'.Listen below.
