Market: Well I Asked You a Question

The reliably inventive songwriting project Market is an outlet for producer Nate Mendelsohn's obsessive questions and answers, recollections of conversation and interior monologues. Well I Asked You A Question, his second release for Western Vinyl, is a giant leap inward; it brims with a humorous, neurotic candor only ever outmatched by a wide and colorful sonic palette. Calling the album "a personal vision of pop music," Mendelsohn blends internet eclecticism, adventurous orchestration, and hyper-focused production to build a cohesive whole from the fragments of his curiosity. Since writing 2022's The Consistent Brutal Bullshit Gong, Mendelsohn has become more entrenched in the Brooklyn, NY music community, producing the recent Frankie Cosmos and Dougie Poole albums, performing in Vagabon and Sam Evian, and recording with Yaeji and Lady Lamb. These experiences with adventurous artists likely resonate with fans of records like Pet Sounds, Fantasma, Insignificance, Blonde, or XO. Wel
