Mark Hollis was a British musician and singer-songwriter born on January 4, 1955 in Tottenham, England. He achieved commercial success in the 1980s as the lead singer of Talk Talk, a synth pop/post-rock band. After releasing his critically acclaimed solo album in 1998, Hollis largely retired from the music industry. He sadly passed away on February 25, 2019.

As Universal Music Recordings, they continue to curate and release exceptional music that resonates with audiences worldwide.

Whether you're seeking iconic hits or discovering lesser-known treasures, UMC (now known as Universal Music Recordings) ensures that the power of music remains accessible to all who appreciate its magic.

Seven years after Talk Talk's final record, Laughing Stock, Mark Hollis completed this self-titled solo album. Where his previous band's music started as hard synth pop and disintegrated into abstraction, Mark Hollis begins with silence, a full 20 seconds of room ambience. that breaks into compositions sprinkled with woodwinds and acoustic guitars, spread delicate and cerebral like ulysses written on parchment paper.

The album is relentless in its tranquility, nestling through contemplative moments without hurry before moving on. hollis pushed his desire for an open record that nonetheless sounded utterly real and natural, and he achieved something that could just as easily pass like a wisp as endlessly be marvelled at for its artistic splendour. No other record so beautifully captures the nothing of everything.
