Living With Yourself

Mark McGuire

2010

Alongside his pals in Emeralds, guitarist Mark McGuire makes unhinged music– a swirling drone that oscillates wildly back and forth and seems to spin off in every direction at once. The focus of his latest solo effort is narrower. Without the synths and electronic elements that intensify Emeralds’ swelling noise, Living With Yourself is primarily a guitar record, looser and more accessible than we’re used to from McGuire.
