The fourth album from Philadelphia's Marah and their first for Yep Roc,
20,000 Streets Under the Sky is, by their own
estimation, the album Dave & Serge Bielanko have always wanted to make. With songs about (in Serge's words)"pigeons, cocaine, pizza, young love, bullets in the head,
transvestites, a beautiful little baby, and the strange optimism one might feel watching jets take off in the evening
at Newark Airport.
Streets follows the Bielanko brothers'triumphant return to the road, energized by a dynamic new lineup (featuring Superchunk drummer Jon Wurster, multi-instrumentalist Kirk "the Barber" Henderson and lap steel whiz Mike "Slo-Mo" Brenner). This is the sound of a band
gleefully taking their lives back into their own hands - or as Serge puts it, "I guess you could say
20,000 Streets
Under the Sky is our love letter to people everywhere who, just like us, keep waking up everyday hoping to turn it all around...."
