E-Mute is a drummer, singer, songwriter who is using the piano and drums as his main instruments to compose. E-Mute before he decided to create his music was a professional drummer and has played with a lot of great musicians Pip Williams (produced Dido, Uriah Heep, Graham Bonnet) Bias Boshell from the Moody Blues, Scott James from the Stereophonics. His band is made of excellent musicians who help him out to either record or perform live.

Since first breaking onto the alt-pop scene in 2007, Owl City has built a global following on the strength of his heart-on-sleeve songwriting and endlessly inventive sound. Along with earning a monumental hit with the diamond-certified “Fireflies”—a 2009 release that reached No. 1 in 26 countries—the Minnesota-bred artist otherwise known as Adam Young has made waves with smash singles like the double-platinum “Good Time” feat. Carly Rae Jepsen and brought his exuberant live set to sold-out shows around the world. With total album sales of over three million and single sales surpassing 20 million globally, Owl City has now delivered the highly anticipated new album Coco Moon: a wildly imaginative body of work revealing his deepened devotion to the strange magic of creativity.

I’m Called George was first conceived way back in 2010 with George on guitar and vocals, and James on keyboards. Both James and George co-write the music, with George the voice behind the lyrics and James taking control of the studio sounds. Tired of being duo, a year, and many failed attempts later, I’m Called George was finally complete as a four piece electro-pop powerhouse, with the addition of Elmo and Connal. Elmo is the beautiful bassist and blog writer and Connal, the beast on the bongos, is their resident ‘percussion expert’. Moving base from the middle of nowhere (Buckinghamshire) down to the middle of London, Zone 1 became their new home, playing gigs at 229, Water Rats, The Bowery and the O2 Academy, Islington.

Now approaching the end of their second year in action, I’m Called George is soon to release their new single, ‘49 Soda + A Bottle of Rum’, due February 2013, to accompany their first promotional track, ‘Jigsaw’. To add to this, they have recently headlined The Buffalo Bar, Islington and have had successes in competitions such as Live & Unsigned, as well as playing at various festivals around the country over the summer. In early 2013, you will also see the band perform again at Water Rats, and the well renowned Cargo for their single release party.

Not wanting to blow their own trumpet, they let MKFM do it for them: “Mixing beautiful pop sensibilities with indie hooks and swirling keys, one listen to track 'Jigsaw' will have you won over.” But we all know there’s only way to find out...

Ben Howard returns with his 4th album, Collections From The Whiteout, produced alongside Aaron Dessner (The National). The foreboding darkness that coated Ben’s second record I Forget Where We Were and thinly veiled its follow up Noonday Dream, isn’t so evident on Collections. These are songs written from headlines scanned, or news stories scrolled past, providing inspiration for a selection of vivid narrative snapshots – the death of amateur sailor Donald Crowhurst (Crowhurst’s Meme); Russian fraudster Anna Sorokin (Sorry Kid); the man who stole and crashed a plane in Seattle (The Strange Last Flight Of Richard Russell); and the dismembered body a friend of his father found in a suitcase floating along the Thames (Finders Keepers). Alongside them, the personal anecdotes from the same scattered period living between Paris, Devon and Spain. Yussef Dayes features, as does Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), James Krivchenia (Big Thief), Kyle Keegan (Hiss Golden Messenger), and Dessner. Thomas Bartlett, St. Vincent’s go-to pianist, and Rob Moose, a long-standing arranger of strings for Bon Iver, are also present. Long-term guitarist to Ben’s band, Mickey Smith (A Blaze of Feather), remains a reassuring constant. It’s a sonic adventure that continues this nagging suggestion that Ben is one of the UK’s most inventive and naturally talented songwriters. CFTW is his latest opus, and arguably his most fully realised to date.

New album, The Love Still Held Me Near - available now on Still Records.
