Well it didn't take long for you to figure high up in the list my favourite musicians here on SC. Awesome stuff Marc.

god man i love how you do your thing. great energy

I worked my way through the various tracks I've written and recorded and selected 1 track from each of my shorter EPs and 2 from each album, starting with the earliest recording.  They are probably my favourites from each, but often don't match with the most played songs!  But this would be a starting point for a live setlist for me I think

Marc Freak - 1 from each EP, 2 from each album

GOD'S TRIP

Kelen Helvetia - You And I - Cover (Lady Gaga) 2015

Kelen Helvetia - You And I - Cover (Lady Gaga)

The first of the Marc Freak EPs, Wraith combines the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, with a splattering of Bowie, and a dash of Nick Cave to arrive at a package of college style alt rock.  With the theatrics of Iggy Pop thrown in for good measure.

Wraith

Keys are key on this pop tune about a mad lover that shows restraint with excitement but no restraint with anger

Limiter On Your Life

I can use any name that I want to
I can drink anything and its fun to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo

All the hypocrites have already spoken
I've no idea what they've been smoking
But its a blazing fire that they're stoking

CHORUS
Look at the camera and say cheese
All the negative eruptions
Dribble sap and then hide in the trees
All the negative eruptions
And the negatives rub off on me
All the fake praise and fake sympathy
Hold your head up high and freeze
All the negative eruptions

So the horse has already bolted
I've a book of my faults that I've noted
Its a nugget of shit that's been coated

I can use any name that I want to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo
I can drink if I want to

CHORUS

A grey hair - I turned the other cheek
If I turn away for long enough I won't find what I won't seek
Be I wise or be I clown?
It even hurts a little bit when I am sitting down

CHORUS
Whoever you are I'm older than you think
I'm glad that you think otherwise - I'm truly tickled pink
Whoever you are I'll gladly take the praise
I'm slowly growing older but I hope its just a phase

Won my heart all torn and soiled
It has beaten and then burst more than anyone in this world
Have a laugh - give a smile
I'm an educated mind but mentality of a child

CHORUS

Tickled Pink

Just a simple take on one of my old favorite pop-folk songs from the 60's (by Cyrkle). Did a quick iPhone recording and added harmonies and touch of banjo. I always liked the subtle balance between bitter and sweet in this song. He's telling her off but you can tell he's hurt and doing his best to look forward with optimism, which I think he accomplished, in one way or another.

Once again, a great pleasure to work with IT! ( https://soundcloud.com/samantha-hubbs ) some more.  She has added such another (sultry) dimension to this (and I love it).  Its like Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin have been embraced by a bondage clad Depeche Mode.  Hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

DOWN ON MY KNEES
[I know what you want to do
Let me play with you
You can look but you can't touch it
You must obey, you must submit
Bad boy, do as I say
I want you to crawl my way]

I'm lost in these echoing corridors
I'm caught in this maze
Searching out for someone to save me
So I don't rot in this place
Repeat / refresh
I hear the voice again

CHORUS
I'm down on my knees to pray
To give all my life away
I'm aware of my place
A punch in the face
Mistress I will do all that you say

I have no direction or ambition
And that's why I serve
All my life is a contradiction
I've been a slave since birth
Do this / do that
I hear the voice again
And I like it

CHORUS

[Such slender, so divine
Surrender, now you're mine]

Want Me Forever?

Makers Of A Storm

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
