About Tsui
After his departure from indie/folk band Jr. Corduroy, Brooklyn based songwriter Mark Kraus began writing and recording in various living rooms, sublets, and makeshift studios in New York, Boston, and LA. This would lay the ground work for what would later become known as Tsui. Often performing in small Brooklyn bars and clubs, Tsui is a delicate union of Kraus and other musicians, who sow together intimate performances that often silence the rooms in which they inhabit. Tsui’s music demands the attention of the listener through it’s softness rather than it’s volume.
Been thinking about you, listening to your CD again. So impressed Mark, always impressed. Want to let you know at this "Thanksgiving" time how thankful I am at having you in my memories and as a friend. Hope all is well with you and yours. Next time your in town let me know!
Just thinking about ya. Thought I'd drop a note since you play such pretty ones. So when are you going to play in Prov.? Better post a bulliten when you do brother. Miss you.
Mark!!! YOu are amazingly talented and I miss you. How are you? I still think about that day you played a few of the songs you wrote when we went to Mass Art. Good times!!!
Hey Mark, just wanted to let you know I just got your cd in the mail yesterday from CdBaby. I love the way it sounds. Your voice has matured so much from your Plastic Jesus days. Keep up the good work. I'm heading to Attleboro for a few days next week...should be good fun, visiting friends and all.
