Mark Mulcahy is the former singer of Miracle Legion, an American rock band of the late 80s, early 90s who were signed to Rough Trade. Following the demise of the band, Mark’s solo career began with Fathering, an album that received universal praise and included the track Hey Self Defeater, which was featured in Nick Hornby’s book 31 Songs.

From there followed albums Smilesunset and In Pursuit Of Your Happiness, several tours of the UK and Europe, countless radio sessions and huge critical acclaim for both his songwriting prowess and his remarkable voice. In 2008 he put everything on hold to look after his children following the tragic death of his wife. To assist him through these troubled times many of his long-time fans in the music industry banded together to record an album of his songs as a tribute to his wife and the result was 2009’s Ciao My Shining Star, featuring the likes of Michael Stipe, Thom Yorke, Frank Black, Mercury Rev, Dinosaur Jr and The National.

His new album entitled Dear Mark J Mulcahy I Love You, will be his first studio release since In Pursuit Of Your Happiness, and the first taste is this track, the quite wonderful She Makes The World Turn Backwards. It is out on Fire Records in June.
