Mischief is Mark Guiliana’s new release from the sessions that produced 2022’s acclaimed the sound of listening. Effortless and flowing, this is music by a band of eight years standing at its most spontaneous. This is the sound of the band just as they are. Setup, Hit Record and Play.

Recorded at the same sessions as the sound of listening, the music on Mischief represents a different side of the same coin. There’s a liveness and spontaneity that, as Mark explains, operates as a ‘sonic photograph of the band’. This music is not an afterthought or bonus material; it stands as an artistic statement in its own right. It’s a snapshot of the band of eight years just as they are - no overdubs, no electronics, no studio wizardry - live and direct.

The band are all exemplary musicians who share a common understanding and empathy built from playing together for so long. The performance flows easily, moving from the effortless vamps of Jam Til End of the Tape to the compelling Audience American or the more traditional When Day Turns Into Night.
