Biography
1) Birthmark is Nate Kinsella of the Joan of Arc collective gone solo.
2) Birthmark is a rock band from Athens, Greece. Initially formed in 2001 under the name Cuore Nero.
3) A hardcore act from Banská Bystrica (Slovakia).
4) An experimental band from Brighton, East Sussex, England
1.) Under the appellation Birthmark, Nate Kinsella has embraced restraint in spite of the compositional boundlessness typically borne by musical virtuosity. On his debut album The Layer, the inventive and often byzantine drum set/Wurlitzer style he developed over the past four years in the band Make Believe is all but absent, revealing a quiet and uncanny tension of minimalist focus. And while Kinsella performed all of the music on The Layer, recalling his multi-instrumental duties in the band Joan of Arc, the listener is more awestruck by the attention to integration and score than by a whirlwind of prowess.
The Layer represents an effort that began over eight years ago with the song “Flightless Bird,” which was originally written for a friend’s unfinished film project. Over time, the songs transitioned through amorphous forms until their ideal structures were achieved, further revealing The Layer to be a product of discreet process. In fact, two sharply contrasting songs on The Layer “A Solitary Angle on the Confinement of Doom” and “The Layer” started as the same tune, and the piano throughout was recorded in Minnesota over two consecutive Christmas vacations.

Nate Kinsella. Saw him last night! Amazing, beautiful and very talented. Had the pleasure to exchange a few words, a very calm, nice and easy-going guy. "Shake Hands" was extremely beautiful live.

Hi! I am from Birthmark (Athens-Greece) and, unfortunately, i am in the awkward position to have to clarify things, especially after "Sorryy"'s comment. I am really sorry for the confusion by the coexistence of two bands labeled "Birthmark", but i have to point out that we released our first LP album on May 21 2007 with V2 records, when no other "Birthmark" had ever officially released anything. Even our myspace profile was founded on 3/24/2006, while Nate's on 6/7/2007. All the best to Nate of course. We really like his music! http://www.birthmarkmusic.com

What the hell? Looks like this page has been commandeered by a lesser Birthmark.

Antibodies is very pleasant to listen to. A bit too repetitive, though.
