MY DAD IS DEAD
The Engine Of Commerce (Vital Cog Records)
Reviewed by Holly Day

---

Blithely morbid, somewhat self-indulgent synth rock with a good sense of humor about itself. Everything here is the product of one Mark Edwards, who seems more that a little convinced (if these songs are any insight into his character) that the world is somehow set against him, and that any success stories his life may hold are merely an anomaly in the grand scheme of the universe. He doesn't, however, let this get him down, and the true story of these songs is the persistence of a character against insurmountable odds and the occasional reflection of his/her scant minor triumphs.
