Marilyn Carino gained notoriety as the singing and songwriting half of Brooklyn's MUDVILLE. Her contributions to Mudville's three critically-acclaimed albums were lauded as "Nina Simone coming back from the dead to front Morcheeba", her unique, moving voice hailed as "fearless", "enchanting" and "otherworldly".

"Little Genius #1" is the first of three solo EPs Carino will release in 2009. Written, performed, recorded and produced by Carino alone, "Little Genius" fine tunes the grit and eclecticism of Mudville, adding a shot of dark adrenaline. Grinding organs and electro-beats come to life via Carino's soaring melodies and sumptuous vocals.
