Editorial review
Full of brazen piano buildups and full-vibrato confessionals, The Red Bedroom is like a great lost breakup album of David Bowie and Elton John, where the two tortured souls channel frustrations into the third person. As a concept album, then, it works. Ten tracks celebrate backroom lovin' in the hot Milwaukee sun with a patina of mid-'70s dust and grease on every sound surface. Between the sensational bombast of "Humankind" and the exposed ballad foppery of "Baby Takes It Slow" is the sense that Mallman could've been a lost Bowie prot?g? -- using all the stops of Mott the Hoople with less overt blues and more soft rock schmaltz. Featuring members of the Promise Ring, the Replacements, 12 Rods, and Fog, the album allows Mallman to keep his concept artist's abstractions while creating an un-ironically enjoyable art pop treasure in the meantime. ~ Daphne Carr, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
"The Red Bedroom" is the newest offering from Minneapolis rock icon Mark Mallman. This darkly seductive 10 song diary of sleepy road stops and sleepless hotel rooms is a digital update to your father's collection of dusty vinyl. The recording was created while shuffling computer files between recording studios and the PC in his bedroom. The overhauling of the mid-seventies in a blurred haze of drunken pianos and stoned guitars manages to skirt all notions of the information age. "The Red Bedroom" has the scope of an epic and the intimacy of a warm bed.
