Semi Athletic's (Mark Falk) specialty comes in the form of impressionistic songwriting paired with tasteful production and guitar riffs, otherwise known as "the tone zone". As a Canadian who grew up in Prague that calls Muscle Shoals a third home, his output is a synthesis of time spent digging through record crates and collaborating with musicians around the world.
Equally at home in the studio and on stage, the recent album “Try Hard” (May 2023) was self-recorded and produced. With a refined artistic voice and vision, the album features introspective acoustic songs with twinkling keyboards next to full-out rock songs with playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics.
