Sketches of fleeting wavelengths.
Hailing originally from both Rotterdam and Hereford, both members have being playing together since the mid 1990's. Free and improvised with surprise and experimentation. Not afraid of noise, drone or randomness. Synths, electro-acoustic guitar effects, brass and percussion.

West Midlands are a gang of weird pop magpies cranking out high-concept, no-budget DIY death rock from a dank room on an industrial estate, round the back of PC World. 

Their songs chart the decline and fall of a rapidly decaying musician, dropped by his label, forgotten by fans, and forced to return to his childhood home in the Black Country to confront his demons – some of which, it turns out, are actual demons. It’s sort of a documentary. 

Cosmic Scouse super producer and legendary Windmill soundman Paul of Sound provides the music, former Winter Olympics’ singer Andrew Wolfman plays the unknown frontman.

Live, the band are bolstered by a gang of serious heads who transform West Midlands’ lofty ideas into an often hilarious, occasionally heartbreaking festival-ready rock show that’s long on stagecraft, self-loathing, and big songs. BBC Introducing called them, “The best live show I have ever seen.” Joyzine magazine thought them a “ridiculously addictive stone age riot… weird music for weird times,” while Kurt Vile just called them, “Genius.” 

The band takes the last 50 years of West Midlands music as a jumping-off point for their sound (and the reason for their name).  

It’s all there: the Hammer Horror heaviness of Black Sabbath, the chaotic post-punk clatter of The Swell Maps, the grubby grebo rock from that weird six month period in the nineties when Stourbridge was the new Seattle. 

There’s a decidedly Dexy’s “whoa-oh!” here, a whiff of Zeppelin’s spooky village mysticism there, and more than a nod to the plate-eyed after-party poetry of The Streets and the Brummies-on-a-yacht pop swagger of Duran Duran. In the background, the dull throb of a secret rave rolls off the Clent Hills in the distance. 

This is pop music for music nerds, by music nerds. The musical proof that comedy equals tragedy plus time. Hard art by high friends in low places. It’s not for everyone, but it might just save your life.

Sons of Mu were born kicking and screaming in 2019, they were brought together by their own inadequacies at coping with the modern world, so they retreated to the safety of their own womb like studio to play similar notes, sounds and shout at each other.

What followed was a musical collaboration born from members of Idiot Joy (Nottingham Ugly Disco legends) Lord Ha Ha (Psych Rock outfit) and the Cult of Dom Keller (Dark, Psychedelic Sonic Alchemists).  They draw influences from many places like Can, Spaceman 3 to obscure science fiction movies…. at the heart of their sound are epic sonic canvases dripping with psychedelia, funk & garage punk which aid their pursuit to find the lost continent of Mu.

A musical duo based in Nottingham, UK. Quarries & Corridors are Nat Titman and Jenny Hackett. Their debut album, Going through Changes, releases in early October 2019.
