Market is a Brooklyn-based indie rock band led by songwriter Nathan Mendelsohn. Joined by fellow Oberlin alumni Stephen Becker on guitar, Duncan Standish on drums, and Natasha Bergman on keys and vocals, Nate’s songs have been hailed as “twisted pop perfection” (Popmatters magazine). Brimming with a humorous, neurotic candor only outmatched by a wide and colorful sonic palette, Market’s latest record (and second release with Western Vinyl), Well I Asked You a Question, has been featured on Pitchfork, NPR, and Spotify’s Fresh Finds Indie.
