New Single | “c u soon” | available now!

Dearest amigos,

My new single "c u soon" is now out there in the world...

Admittedly, I haven't done much promo or talking about this release, which is probably not the wisest "business" move, but meh (business shmusiness, amirite?). The reasons for that are many-fold, and I'll probably spill those beans at some point soon. But for now, I just hope you listen to it and feel something. That's always the goal

I had a lot of fun making it, and it's actually upbeat which is unusual for me. The whole thing was created entirely from within the comfort of my 150 sq ft backyard studio here in Vernon. I wrote and played all parts, and then had my pal Peter Von Althen ice the cake by adding his phenomenal drums all the way in Ottawa and sending them back to me for final mix.

I think that's all I have to say for now.

As always, your shares, streams, saves, downloads, etc. all mean the world to an indie songster such as myself. They do not go unnoticed, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for those of you who choose to do those things!

Love always,

Mark

Mark Fossen is an acoustic guitar-wielding storyteller whose soulful-yet-delicate vocal melodies, earnest lyrics, and playful stage banter will leave you confused as to whether you should laugh, cry, or quit your day job.

He currently resides on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx/Okanagan people (although depending on who you ask, he could also be from Ottawa, or rural Nova Scotia. Nobody seems to know for sure). Years of musical meandering have brought Fossen and his songs to major festival stages, cozy clubs, small town living rooms, and busy city sidewalks all across the land now known as Canada.

With lyrics that catch breath and reflect on the lives we all live and share, Fossen’s music takes an introspective deep dive into a wide array of subject matter — love, loss, mental illness, self-discovery — beneath a vocal tone reminiscent of Joshua Radin, Damien Rice, and Ray Lamontagne.

He is presently writing, recording, and releasing new music out of his home studio nestled in the foothills of the Monashee mountains.
