Minneapolis by way of Milwaukee singer/songwriter Mark Mallman got his start with trashy glam rockers the Odd in the late '90s (prior to that, Mallman had been in a few bands with future Promise Ring leader Davey VonBohlen). But the group was almost over as soon as it began, and Mallman launched a solo career straight away.

"The androgynous emotionality of Wood's singing voice lends itself to the demanding theatricality of his lyrics, arrangements and production. The nakedness of a lover's need and the wide-eyed madness that ensues when that need is not met twine around one another." - LA Weekly
“Dorian Wood's rich, haunting melodies and deeply personal tales of heartbreak and working-class fury are elevated by his spiralling warble/wail/battle cry, echoing the raw, early days of Odetta, Tom Waits, Nick Cave and Bryan Ferry.” - CD Baby
