"Remiscent of Iron & Wine...incongruous and charming, this
is special" Losing Today
When
six frustrated, slightly apathetic but largely inspired 20-something
kids from the Black Country decide to make music, normally the result
is not like Mitch and Murray.
Taking their influences from the lo-fi strummings of their youth
(Low, dEUS, Sparklehorse, Red House Painters), the tunes they were
fed as children (old blues and doo-wap, soul, folk and The Beach
Boys) and whatever they can salvage from their lives in a forgotten
part of England - Mitch and Murray produce stark, beautiful and
sublime melodies for all the family.
Following appearances on various split-7"s, the band's debut
album "The Bleak End Starts Here" was released in 2007 (the recording
of which was haunted by mystery illnesses, exploding eyeballs and
electrical buzzes from unknown orifices) and was played on Radio
1, XFM and various overseas radio stations.
The follow-up album entitled "A Sad Day For British Wrestling"
has just been released.
