'THE SOUND' IS $10! AND FREE SHIPPING TO ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD!
Mar's new album, 'The Sound', is now available!!! Mar recorded this album in a beautiful cabin just outside of Eureka Springs, Arkansas throughout the month of July. Bright Eyes' violinist Anton Patzner and cellist Zoe Keating of Imogen Heap (formerly of Rasputina) had a strong impact on this record with their beautiful and heavy string arrangements. Do not expect a somber record such as the first, the 'Mar sound' is there, but Kyle Reidy has a brand new band, and they show their intensity on this record.

Mar's Debut Album, 'The Silence', Is Now Available. Featuring Jimmy LaValle Of THE ALBUM LEAF and BLACK HEART PROCESSION and Samuli Kosminen Of Múm!!!
'The Silence' Was Recorded In Reykjavik, Iceland, Due To SIGUR ROS Opening Up Their Studio To Us In Mosfellsbær, But Due To A Longer Than Expected Mixing Session For Their Last Album, 'Takk...' Mar Was Forced To Move To Syrland Studio, Where Bjork, Sigur Ros, and Emiliana Torrini Have All Recorded Albums. The Album Was Produced By Gunnar Tynes Of MúM (His First Album Production), Iceland's Axel Árnason, Jimmy LaValle, And Samuli Kosminen.
Mar was Kyle's mother's name. She passed away of cancer in 1999. Even when there were no signs of hope, she dreamed ridiculous dreams. Everyone should dream ridiculous dreams. It's our only chance to do so.
Mar was founded by Kyle Reidy in early 2004. They went through several changes in line-up before settling with the final four who pulled through and actually recorded the debut album a year later. Patrick Atkinson (electric guitar), Nate Reed (electric guitar), and Claire Long (keyboards) were a part of Mar with Kyle until April of 2005, after a tour with The Album Leaf. All three are very intelligent and creative musicians. After the tour everyone went their own way and Kyle stayed with the name and is continuing to make Mar albums and play live shows.
just picked up The Silence, and The sound today. i have looked all over the place and finally had to get them from itunes. glad i did they both kick ass!!
Thank you for bringing me over Mar! Really interesting music and glad you got back to loving making it again-I think every musician has a love/hate relationship with it!
When are you coming over to England? and where?
Have a great evening/day-not sure what time it is there! Lynn x
Just ordered The Sound from CdBaby.com. Can't wait to get it. Don't know why I didn't order it a LONG time ago. The Silence is fantastic! Just listened to it again today.
You definitely need to make it up to St. Louis to play.
