My name is Marc. I write and record songs in New York City and have begun playing them live with a swell gang of musicians. Please click band link to visit our ramshackle website to listen and download an unbearable number of our songs.
Some nice things some nice people said about The City And Horses:
MP3Hugger.com says "'Little Finland' ranges from the subtle to the beguiling" and that The City & Horses are "the missing link between Teenage Fanclub and a whole host of artists from the Sarah label." I could just hug MP3Hugger!
Monkey calls "Little Finland" "a little gem" that "starts as Teenage Fanclub and ends as Belle & Sebastian yet has a homespun charm all of its own."
Cable & Tweed says "Marc Louis is a talented and prolific singer-songwriter with quite a flair for pop and Pro Tools."
The Spoilt Victorian Child says "It's just stunning how somebody this talented hasn't been signed. Criminal. The worlds gone mad I tell ya!" Oh, Simon!
Culture Deluxe says The City & Horses are "a sound somewhere between Mercury Rev and Teenage Fanclub, but perhaps a more obvious reference point would be The Velvet Underground". And then they interviewed me.
SixEyes says "The City & Horses is a catchy, jangly, lo-fi project out of New York from generously talented, and generous, Marc Louis. Listen to the sweet and achy jangle of 'Little Finland' and then get excited when I tell you that the tiny 3 song EP which contains this song is just one of many free downloads written and recorded by Louis over the past ten years."
