Released for the first time on vinyl in the USA. Seven years after Talk Talk’s final record, Laughing Stock, Mark Hollis completed this self-titled album, to date the last thing he has put out. Where his previous band’s music started as hard synth pop and disintegrated into abstraction, Mark Hollis begins with silence, a full twenty seconds of room ambience. That breaks into compositions sprinkled with woodwinds and acoustic guitars, spread delicate and cerebral like Ulysses written on parchment paper. Mark Hollis will be released on October 11, 2011.
