Ex-Eagle Seagull frontman Eli Mardock recorded and produced "Everything Happens for the First Time", his first solo record, in various homes in Boston, Seattle, Omaha, and Lincoln over the past two years. Mixed in Brooklyn by Justin Gerrish (Vampire Weekend, The Strokes), it is a dark and visionary album. Set for release in 2012, "Everything Happens for the First Time" is a new beginning for Eli Mardock. While critics compared his past work with Eagle Seagull to everyone from The Cure to Arcade Fire (and none other than Florence Welch confessed to being a fan), "Everything Happens for the First Time" clearly reveals that Eli Mardock is a rare and uncompromising talent who defies comparisons. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Eli+Mardock">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
