Info for Mischief

Mischief is Mark Guiliana’s new release from the sessions that produced 2022’s acclaimed the sound of listening. Effortless and flowing, this is music by a band of eight years standing at its most spontaneous. This is the sound of the band just as they are. Setup, Hit Record and Play.

Recorded at the same sessions as the sound of listening, the music on Mischief represents a different side of the same coin. There’s a liveness and spontaneity that, as Mark explains, operates as a ‘sonic photograph of the band’. This music is not an afterthought or bonus material; it stands as an artistic statement in its own right. It’s a snapshot of the band of eight years just as they are - no overdubs, no electronics, no studio wizardry - live and direct.

The band are all exemplary musicians who share a common understanding and empathy built from playing together for so long. The performance flows easily, moving from the effortless vamps of Jam Til End of the Tape to the compelling Audience American or the more traditional When Day Turns Into Night.

Mark Guiliana
Hailed by The New York Times as “a drummer around whom a cult of admiration has formed,” Grammy-nominated superstar drummer & composer Mark Guiliana brings an adventurous spirit, eclectic palette, and gift for spontaneous invention to a staggering range of styles. Equally virtuosic playing acoustic jazz, boundary-stretching electronic music, or next-level rock, he’s become a key collaborator with such original sonic thinkers as St. Vincent, Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam/Soundgarden), Brad Mehldau, M83, Meshell Ndegeocello, and the late, great David Bowie.

In 2024, Guiliana released his first entirely solo album entitled MARK, which boldly showcased him as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist – performing and layering percussion, piano, synthesizers and more. MARK followed his first two acclaimed Edition Records albums the sound of listening and Mischief.

Guiliana expanded on this creative direction with 2025’s questions (volume one), a compelling step in his evolution as a composer and deep musical thinker, expanding his voice far beyond the drum kit into a space that is raw, textural, and unmistakably his own.

Now, Guiliana presents BEAT MUSIC 2.0, the much anticipated follow-up to the GRAMMY®-nominated album BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! BEAT MUSIC! from 2019. The new hard-hitting, synth-fueled album distills Guiliana’s vision into eight cinematic compositions that fuse retro production with futuristic playing.
