Martin Youth Auxiliary is the solo project from Christopher Walla of Death Cab for Cutie. MYA has released one self-titled tape on Bellingham's Elsinor label in 1999.
This was the tracklist:
1. Door Prizes
2. Mercantile
3. Backcountry
4. The Shift
5. Do-over
6. The Unfairness of NASA
7. My Hands
8. 505
9. Self-Taught
10. This Must Be the Place (naive melody)*
All songs written by Christopher Walla except * written by David Byrne.
Walla has been sharing MYA mp3s through his personal Hall of Justice Recordings website. These mp3s are either from the limited release self-titled tape, new covers/songs or some old treasures that have never seen the light of day.
Walla will be releasing a full length record in March 2007 on Barsuk Records called "It's Unsustainable." This record will be recorded under a to-be-decided moniker.
This biography was written as un-biasedly as possible. Hopefully, that goal was achieved.
