Mark Davis

Voted Orange County's Album of the Decade by the Los Angeles Times!
"Four stars out of four stars for you came screaming!
Getting at large truths with songs full of human-scale detail and unsentamentalized beauty. A profound, intense, varied, and splendidly melodic pop-rock album that would have been hailed as an instant classic if a major star had made it."

HITTING THE HIGH NOTES
Take a Spin Through the 90's
and Revisit the Decade's Best O.C. Pop
by
Mike Boehm
TIMES STAFF WRITER

"Today we give you one critic's choices for the best Orange County-bred pop songs and albums of the 1990's.

The picks adhere to the most narrowly subjective standard there is: my own listening pleasure. Some critics base their year/decade/tec. best-of choices on such legitimate criteria as a work's influence, its impact on society and the music scene, and on how well the music defined its genre, its style, and its time. I'm much too selfish for that. These are the songs and albums that most strongly touched my heart, fired my imagination and captured my ears. Matters of influence and impact are worth analyzing, but ultimately, for me, experiencing music comes down to the most personal and intimate encounter: a one-on-one conversation between artist and listener."
