Radiation Records Releases Gravity, 11th Studio Album from NYC-Based Paul Mark & The Van DorensScheduled to hit the street June 5, Gravity reaffirms Mark's practiced belief that "it's all about the song." Expanding on his critically-praised predecessor Stowaways, Gravity merges classic pop stylings and soundtrack colorings with Mark's unique wit to paint an ironically soulful civilization-gone-mad soundscape.

The new 12-track collection builds on the stylistic growth of his previous two celebrated albums on Radiation, Stowaways and Smartest Man in the Room.
