Search - Mark Bacino :: Queens English

Mark Bacino is an American singer/songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in New York City. With two critically acclaimed, power-pop obsessed album releases to his credit (1998's Pop Job! on Parasol & 2003's The Million Dollar Milkshake on Parasol in the US, Nippon Crown in Japan), Bacino returns to the fray with Queens English; a self-produced album he describes as a melancholy love-letter to NYC & life in its outer-boroughs . With its eclectic mixture of pop, rock, ragtime-y music hall and orchestral fare, Queens English seamlessly blends its palette of tack pianos, acoustic guitars, horns, strings and things into concise, two and a half minute blasts of hook-laden songcraft reminiscent of Nilsson, Newman, solo Macca and Muswell Hillbillies-era Kinks.
