"Lesseraux is as interesting lyrically as he is musically, with tracks such as Everyone Here Is Going To Die jumping between crushing morbidity and an uplifting plea to make the most of life from one line to the next - "So at least have the decency to wave as you walk by"
"Brooklyn-based Mark Lesseraux and his covers album "Get Your Back Up Off the Wall" is a sort-of-thesis on the very concepts of music and dance... Songs that were once nothing but fluffy ear candy are stripped down to consider what, exactly, made the original so danceable in the first place."
"Mark Lesseraux can sing his ass off and he isn't afraid to do it"
- Pitchfork, Joe Tangari
"...mind twisting lyrics...very kool stuff."
- Greg Tate of the Village Voice
