cosmic trigger the debut release by the Mark Austin
Band
combines thought provoking vocals. mind altering guitar, and mantra
like
bass lines; harmonizing to the tune of transcendent horns, a
clairvoyant
drum beat, and astral percussion.
With the band’s flavorful arrangements becoming the
canvas
onto which Austin surrealistically paints his lyrics, the Mark Austin
Band
beckons the imagination to explore new boundaries. Austin’s
work
melds the influences of Jaco Pastorious, early Chicago and Steely Dan
into
a modern day pop fusion of acid jazz similar to genre pioneer Liquid
Soul,
the live jam sessions of the Dave Matthews Band and the solo work of
Sting
and Phil Collins also come to mind when listening to the Mark Austin
Band.
The Mark Austin Band has found its formula for success; when people
hear
their music they can’t keep still, it’s that simple.
So put your soul’s finger on the cosmic trigger
and
give it a squeeze. Instantly you will be shot into a dimension of
musical
emotion where you feel the tranquil peace of rhythmic harmony.
Follow
the horns through the ethereal plains searching for the source of the
beat,
which is the rhythm of life. Get lost in the guitar as you feel
the
aura of the bass. Roam the melody lines, somersault over the chords,
and
swim in the sound waves; because after all, it is all about having fun.
