Mark David Ashworth - "Clean Slate" In January, we blogged about San Francisco-by-way-of-Austin musician Mark David Ashworth , whose recently released second album, Bright is the Ring of Words , is full of richly orchestrated yet intimate songs. Ashworth's CD release party is a free show happening this Saturday, April 3rd (8:30pm, free) at Kaleidoscope (24th St. and Folsom), with Mira Cook and The Beehavers . In addition to the previously blogged "Clean Slate," you can stream the whole [...]
mark david ashworth muss sich erst einmal ins bewußtsein schieben. der läuft mir sonst aus dem ruder. hier die große geste, dort das understatement. wie kriegt man denn den zu fassen? die einflüsse seiner neuen lp gehen locker in die sechziger zurück. anleihen von den ganz großen. da war der vorgänger, das 07er werk "viceroy" noch deutlich songwriter orientierter. insgesamt wesentlich sparsamer. mehr newman, mehr cohen denn pink floyd soundbastelei. aufgenommen wurde "bright is the ring of woods" teilweise in der kleinen wohnung ashworths, die er in san francisco bewohnt, und im orchesterraum einer mittelschule, an der sein kollaborateur [...]

[ MP3 ] Mark David Ashworth - Clean Slate
Mark David Ashworth is a resident of San Francisco, by way of Austin, who is set to release his latest opus titled, Bright Is the Ring of Words , on February 23rd on the consistently solid Autobus . And Ashworth has outdone himself on this sophomore album: Bright Is the Ring of Words is beautiful, alluring and simply feels orchestral. It is the orchestral quality of this album that makes it a perfect pairing for the veggie burger recipe featured on eating/sf today. The recipe calls for a relatively wide-array of ingredients [...]
Wednesday, February 10, 2010 It's Valentine's Day this weekend and I've got a $10 coupon for 1-800-Flowers, I believe, compliments of a class action lawsuit. Believe me readers, I'd send flowers to each and everyone of you if I weren't so selfish and broke. In other news: Austin music. I guess Mark David Ashworth doesn't exactly qualify as "Austin Music" anymore, but one of my favorite local labels, Autobus (the home of Brazos, Sunset, and a good portion of good music in Austin), is [...]

San Francisco-by-way-of-Austin musician Mark David Ashworth will release his second album, Bright is the Ring of Words , February 23rd on Autobus Records . According to the label: Coming together over the span of a year and a half, the album was recorded in Ashworth's tiny room in San Francisco's Mission District and in a middle school orchestra room north of the Golden Gate, where his multi-instrumentalist collaborator, Tristan Arnold, teaches. "Clean Slate" showcases Ashworth's engaging baritone and an ambitious orchestral palette. [...]

I know it is cliche, but like many of you out there I have attempted to begin the new year and decade with a renewed sense of purpose and drive. I have begun to devise ways to organize my many projects, focus on my writing, improve my health, and finally write down the goals that have been floating in my head for years. It may be foolish optimism, but I actually feel like I am going to accomplish something substantial this year. A new album that has been on repeat in my office over the past week [...]
Autobus SXSW Party Saturday, March 21st (1pm - 8pm) Okay Mountain ( 1312 E. Cesar Chavez ) | Austin, TX FREE [ Autobus Records Official Site ] Lineup: Mark David Ashworth (7:00PM) Mellow Owl, Red Hunter, Peter and the Wolf (6:15PM) [...]
Listening: 1. Mark David Ashworth - Sometimes the simplest formula is the most appealing. Acoustic guitar, sparse electronics, and thoughtful melodies, MDA has it all. Listen to : Elevator Battle Distance ( mp3 ) 2. Plugs - When you stare at numbers all day they all start to look familiar. Listening to promos all evening can do the same for songs. However, this track jumped out at me today, and maybe you will enjoy it as well. Listen to: That Number ( mp3 ) 3. The [...]
Mark David Ashworth's viceroy The Mohawk Residency continues tonight in Austin, with Mark David Ashworth (and full band) opening for Peel . Ashworth recently released his excellent debut LP, Viceroy , on the great Autobus Records . Viceroy , which Mark recorded while living in Lima and Mexico City, is "an accidental concept album about the trials and pleasures of otherness and the search for the self in a foreign land." Here are a [...]
On ne sait pas grand chose de Mark David Ashworth. On sait qu'il est texan, qu'il a joué dans un groupe qui s'appellait Ink et un autre qui s'appellait The Press, et qu'il passe fréquemment la frontière. On sait qu'il aime vivre dans des hôtels, à Lima et à Mexico, et qu'il s'enregistre depuis une dizaine d'années. Il enregistre les sons qu'il entend lorsqu'il ouvre ses fenêtres et on les retrouve dans ses chansons, qu'il s'agisse de sirènes de police, d'orages assourdissants, d'un joueur de carillon, du (...)
poster by David. Please join us Saturday evening at the Cavern for an intimate show with Sound Team 's Bill Baird , aka {{{{sunset}}}} , and friends. He'll be joined by assorted members of his esteemed crew from Austin, including (but not limited to): the Black , Mark David Ashworth , Tenlons Fort , and more. We've talked about Bill , the Black , and Mark David before, but this Tenlons Fort song is exceptionally pretty and sad; I think [...]
We're heading to Austin tomorrow for the ACL Music Festival , as well as a couple tapings of the ACL TV show ( Sufjan , Jack White , and Cat Power , oh my). Anyway, we got to thinking, "Goddamn, Austin is awesome." I know I post on an Austin band seemingly every other day, but I honestly feel like Austin's current independent music scene is better than any other in the U.S. (for sure), and possibly the world. Don't take my word for it though: I've compiled 20 of my favorite [...]
gorilla vs. bear's sole female representative, the lovely Michelle , sent me a note raving about Tree Colored See , and she's right. This is beautiful stuff, suitable for fans of electronica, psych-folk, and hip-hop beats. I'll let her tell it: "Every once in a while, I find an album that feels like a vintage thrift-store find. Not only is it amazing, but it is something unexpected that you end up treasuring. My latest album find gave me exactly that [...]
