Brooklyn, NY - June 7, 2007 sees the release of Design In Quick Rotation, a debut full-length that evokes the warmth of a Sunday morning and recalls the nuance of The Velvet Underground song of the same name.

Throughout the record, you can hear the influence of such artists and bands as Stephen Malkmus, Belle and Sebastian and Bert Jansch; but Design is by no means derivative. Elements of Outkast’s Hip Hop and Bob Dylan’s folk melt together and the result is unique with a strong focus and clarity – from the sparse, imagistic lyrics of the opening title track to the brooding progression of the final instrumental, “Go Crocodile” (which features, quite playfully, the sounds of a crocodile-shaped xylophone).

Marco’s work has gotten airplay on The New York Times’ radio station, WQXR, and earned praise from members of Pavement and The Silver Jews, as well as from Allen Ginsberg. Now that it’s available to everyone via his site (as well as iTunes and other online music sources) more acclaim is sure to follow.
