A towering talent - The Sun Exhileratingly innovative, Mugison mixes psychedelia, electronica, spoken voice and quite a few kitchen sinks, yet still believes spooky ballads are paramount and lets organic sounds rule - Uncut Mugimama is magic - Time Out Mugimam is a canny melding of dreamy songwriting styles - redolent of Will Oldham - with a kooky electronic edge. The result is at once moving, wonderfully playful and witty. - The Independent In other news,,, Mara Carlylehas been busy recording an album of covers and is preparing to release her new EP "I Blame Dido" on May 23rd.
