Get Your Back Up Off The Wall
Reviews Of Get Your Back Up Off The Wall:
“Most artists would’ve simply covered these songs, but Mark Lesseraux actually uncovers them.”
Lesseraux’s take on Madonna’s “Lucky Star” prizes ghostly piano and ethereal vocals where propulsive grooves and electronic percussion once reigned supreme, while the aforementioned Springsteen cover strips away all of the keyboard melodies and chugging rhythms to reveal layers of dulcet acoustic guitar and mallet percussion. ”

“…Brooklyn-based Mark Lesseraux and his covers album Get Your Back Up Off the Wall is a sort-of-thesis on the very concepts of music and dance. While not every song will make you dance, each one will make you think about dancing. Using a combination of folk, rock, pop, and ambient sounds, Lesseraux creates a mostly non-dance dance album. We had a chance to talk with him recently about his selections.”
