Jeff Jepson is a prolific singer-songwriter, born in Liverpool, now recording & performing in the Isle of Man and beyond to a loyal, attentive following, and has been a mainstay of the thriving Liverpool acoustic scene, having supported artists as diverse as Martin Carthy, Slow Club and the Fratellis. He has made numerous radio and magazine appearances, and his music is available online. He performs solo and with his band and his new album, Meaning Waves, is released on 13 October 2023.

Hailing from Nottingham, UK, Mean ideal has been producing music for well over a decade. Starting out as a Thrash/Death Metal Guitarist in local metal bands (Keltic Jihad, Akarusa Yami) and dabbling in electronic music since 2000. This is the soundtrack to the end of the world: Apocalyptic, Bass Heavy DnB with a heavy dose of Acid Techno and 21st Century Metal injected straight to the vein! This is music of  a meaner ideology, music to destroy worlds to!

Introduction to Misapprehension:

Having drawn together numerous talented people over nearly 3 decades, Misapprehension has been created to represent achievements in varying fields, including music, film making, video game production and writing. We are therefore setting up as a record label, film and games studio.

Our first example of this is the launching of the debut album by Daryl Quincy. Daryl began production on this in 2004 using songs written since 1992. He took time out, moving house and jobs and so on and added enough songs to create an album from 2008. Now 12 years further on, after several health difficulties and practical obstacles (housing, hard drive crashes, day jobs, university work etc) the album is launching in 2020. Daryl is our example of never giving up, of fulfilling a dream - however unlikely or unprofitable - to create, to deliver, to experiment living with some regrets and not allowing other regrets, finding out what happens if you reach for the stars keeping your feet on the ground. Ignoring calls of "Don't bother", "Its too much work", "It'll never pay" in order to see projects through that may be a gamble, but in several ways are better done than not done.

Daryl Quincy's debut album, for example, brings together several musicians who's paths coincidentally crossed in the 1980s and he combines them in performance across decades into one song, "Out Of My Head". He fuses Indian, folk, jazz, country, blues, classical and funk music into an album of short catchy 'pop' songs. These have been a long time in production, yet are not 'overproduced' - maintaining some rough edges and real/natural artifacts from basement and attic recordings, with some piano and sax parts even recorded on cassette in the 1990s. His hope is that he has created a natural, 'organic' and genuine anthology, a 'human' album with textures, atmosphere, vulnerability and strength. 

Such a debut album perhaps fittingly encapsulates the ethos of Misapprehension - warmth, humanity, vulnerability, hope and resolve. We hope we deliver this in the creative projects to come. Thank you.
