    Acclaim for the Album:

    4/5 bombs by Louder Than War. The album "carries “an illicit air opulence”. This is precisely the intelligent form of art-pop that we have been crying out for"

    Rolling Stone Australia "when much modern music can be a soporific affair, who doesn’t relish a bit of “sexy, confusing… fun” pop?”


    About the Album:

    Why Did I Choose This? is a collection of quirky and eclectic songs that take unexpected turns while managing to remain accessible and catchy. Marson’s talent for combining over-the-top, extravagant 80s sounds with his timeless crooning vocal creates a cognitive dissonance that will resonate with those who feel out of place in today's world.

lyrics

she lived under the neon streets
she was lost to the ghetto
and her name was jenni lee
yeah her name was jenni lee
it was the death of a pornstar
and her name was jenny lee

death of a pornstar
I saw it on my iPhone
found in the morning
at the age of 23

It was the death of a pornstar
now she lives in a digital graveyard
It was the death of a pornstar
And you've already forgotten her

Everyday i was watching you on a screen i never you knew you were dead i never knew you were real

It was the death of a pornstar
Out of sight
Did she lose her mind?
It was the death of a pornstar
And now she's gone to the other side
It was the death of a pornstar
Her life was yours but now its mine

It was the death of a pornstar
though she ll never dream again
she might come back to haunt you
because the internet is dreaming

this is a four minute warning
because shes standing in the hall way
with a gun in her hand
1000 years of waiting
it was the death of a pornstar
she ll come back to haunt you

In Marson, we have a shadowy new wave rocker for the modern age ... more
