The Peel Session
Fatcat
INDIE
This is the long-awaited release of MÃM's only ever 'Peel Session', recorded at Maida Vale Studios in 2002 for Radio One's infamous, revered and fondly remembered John Peel Show.
The five tracks here (marked as four tracks) are significantly different versions of songs that will be familiar to fans, but this EP amounts to a batch of stand-alone recordings by a young band at their creative peak.
Bridging the gap between their universally acclaimed debut, and their more expansive, sonically detailed follow up 'Finally We Are No One', these tracks represent a band in transition from the warm naivety of 'Yesterday...' to a more sonically detailed approach, more commonly associated with their current output.
Curiously, the EP is a significant precursor to the band's new material, due in 2007, in tone, if not execution. The band are now an expansive collective, blurring the distinction between live band and electronica.
JUICE 10/10 "outstanding, stunning, wondrous dream that transcends the likely labels"
