Money Mark: Tell 'Em About The Money
Simon Price, Dazed & Confused, May 1998
Mark Ramos Nishita — half-Japanese, half-Mexican, all genius — was born in Detroit, where they make the cars ("I remember a lot of snow... and yes, there was a lot of Motown music"), and grew up in Los Angeles, where they practically live in them. Push The Button, destined to be one of this year's most name dropped, must-have albums, has a magical, childlike, instinctual feel.
