"As visceral an album an artist can make without actually spilling their guts directly onto the recording console, Snake In The Radio is rife with mossy ballads and interstate rockers crackling like unrequited CB transmissions. This debut solo CD is just as weird and beautiful and poetic and magical as a midget in a David Lynch film. Snake In The Radio sees Mark reunite with longtime ally and legendary producer Steve Fisk (Nirvana, Low, Posies, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees). Undeniably charming and melodically infectious, Mark's earthy voice and singular phrasing and lyrics embody a sheen style not unlike Magnetic Fields, Ennio Morricone, Lee Hazlewood and Nick Cave getting together to drink moose blood and play four-handed Texas Hold 'Em in their leaky cabin in the forest primeval. And you better believe they are playing for keeps."
