May eventually be looking into UK distro for this artist, as the UK/Europe in general seems to be more accepting of creativity. Please listen to 'White Bird' and 'Mitral Valve Prolapse' and let me know what you think.

Thank you for the thoughts. I firmly believe he would take off if the music business weren't so afraid of 'different' and non-homogenized acts. Blumpy's production is fantastic and captures him very well as an artist.

Like it a lot, but the verses more than the choruses.
I agree that Blumpy has produced it very well, but with the use of compression he has used, he needs to bear in mind that with most radio plays its going to get re-compressed by the stations and could end up getting a little bit ignored after radio has compressed it again.

Another gorgeous voice on TS though, it seems to be a week for it.

Might not be much of an issue, as we don't expect radio to go for it at all anyway. It was a record made just about being creative and is more anti-radio with the current Clear Channel/Infinity controlled US market. It's more about the overall sound & feel of the album, and less about singles. 'Mitral' is about as 'pop radio' friendly as the album gets.

We think he could break, but it would be more of the underground swell, such as that of Imogen Heap, Arcade Fire, etc. They, to this day, haven't really received a great deal of mainstream radio play. That's even with the Arcade Fire's new record opening quite large in the US.

Thank you for the feedback though, feel free to keep it coming.

lovely voice and some nice tunes there. I do not like the bloated production at all since it makes the whole thing sound very dated.

There I was listening to "White Bird" thinking, "Reminds me of Genesis" then these huge gated drums came in!

I like the guys voice and prefer the production over the song (if you get me).

Perseus is cool.

It's brilliantly done although I don't actually like this sort of music.

I wouldn't buy it but I think plenty of people would.

Not so keen on the other tracks. Done very well but not my cup of tea.

Good luck with the release, hope it goes well.
