Listen to a new track from Mark Mulcahy, singer of Miracle Legion and The Adventures Of Pete And Pete's Polaris

Mark Mulcahy might be most familiar to some A.V. Club readers as the frontman of Polaris, the house band for The Adventures Of Pete And Pete, but the singer-songwriter fronted the band Miracle Legion for years. He’s also got a ton of A-list fans, from Thom Yorke to Michael Stipe, all of who participated in the 2009 tribute record, Ciao My Shining Star: The Songs Of Mark Mulcahy. Now, the “Hey Sandy” singer is back with his first new solo record in eight years, Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You, and The A.V. Club has the premiere of one of the album’s best tracks, “Let The Fireflies Fly Away.” With Mulcahy’s vocals right up front, the track should please fans of Polaris and Miracle Legion, as well as anyone with a penchant for jangly indie pop.

Mulcahy is on tour this summer, and a full list of dates is below.
