Mark Mulcahy – In Pursuit of Your Happiness
By
Jesse E. Mullen
My favorite of Mark's solo albums.
(And second favorite of all his albums - to the Polaris album.) "Cookie
Jar," and "I Have Patience" are the melodic indie Mulcahy is known
for at its best. Closer "He Vanished" however, is a totally different
animal altogether. A slow waltz with lyrics in tribute to a fallen friend
delivered in a Lou Reed speak-sing, it is my favorite Mark Mulcahy song, and
one of my favorite of the 2000s. If you only buy one album by Mark, let it be
this one. But you'll want more than just this.
