Due out for its official release on 13th February 2012 via US label All Things Go, ‘Sol’ is the first offering from Newcastle based Anglo-Italian four piece M A U S I.
Born in Milan, siblings Daisy & Thomas moved to the UK in 2008 where they subsequently met and moved in with Englishmen Ben & Benji at University in the North East. Formed in 2010, the band cite French collectives Pony Pony Run Run, Phoenix and Breakbot as their biggest influences, as well as an unashamed love for pop favourites Uffie and Penguin Prison. Mausi create blissful up-beat pop, that harnesses a carefree Rivieran edge and driving disco feel; that is no more present than in single ‘Sol’.
The track was made available free in the summer of 2011 alongside self-written, directed and produced video receiving 15,000+ hits and coverage on NME.com and The 405. ‘Sol’ was featured as 6Music’s Nemone’s video of the week and has picked up support from Bethan Elfyn (6Music), Amazing Radio and Artrocker. Finally leading to ‘Sol’ being snapped up for its official release on February 13th 2012 through Neon Gold approved US label All Things Go, accompanied by a LIGHTWAVES remix.
‘Sol’ will be available to download and as a physical limited edition 7” on 13th February 2012 via All Things Go.
