The singles, Start Again & Little Torrents were intended for a 3rd LP, however Covid19 meant that a mini UK tour was
swiftly cancelled, so Mark & producer Pete Twyman decided that the new songs would be a way to keep things going.
They will be released as a digital double A side on the 12th of June.
Mark wrote and recorded Start Again some time ago, with a female vocalist in mind.
In the end he asked his daughter, Alita, to track a lead vocal - Mark spliced his & hers together as a demo & the duet
idea was born. Man, can she sing! The lyric itself is as personal or universal as the listener finds it and the chorus
soars. Little Torrents is in similar mould to the first single from Now Playing, "Country" - a raucous piece of heavy
soul with a topical lyric.
