New York, NY (Top40 Charts) What the press are saying:
"An impressive cut of alt-pop lushness...intelligent and compelling" -
State Magazine
�Family is simply breath-taking, with Mormecha in his prime� � Across The Line (BBC
Radio Ulster)
�His solo material belies an altogether different type of song writing nous� - Culture Northern Ireland
Mojo Fury front man Michael Mormecha is today pleased to reveal a special live video for 'Happily Lost', the latest track to be taken from his forthcoming debut solo album, following a premiere with Artrocker Magazine.
A trashy garage rock offering that tips the hat to his day job in Mojo, the track shows another side of Mormecha's diverse songwriting talents with the man himself on drums and vocals commenting: "This is one of my favourite songs on the album and probably the heaviest too - think
Prince meets Death from Above!"
Just under two months out from the release date, Michael has already reached over 80% of the target of the PledgeMusic campaign that will be funding his debut solo album �LOFi LiFE�, which is set for release on 9th May 2016 on Swallow Song Records.
His chosen charity to support through the campaign is Brake, a road safety charity who help and support victims of road traffic accidents and teach kids to be aware of the dangers on the road.
Commenting on the campaign, he says: "I'm so happy to see a release date on the horizon for my debut solo album. There are songs on here that are probably the most proud I have ever been of my writing. I've collaborated with some amazing artists - thankfully, that was the easy part and I�m excited to share the music with you. Now comes the hard work of independently releasing an album, and believe me it's not all cake and buns. I won�t bore you with the details, you just have to enjoy listening to and exploring new music, same as I do."
Citing influence from the likes of Nine Inch Nails, Sia, Ariel Pink, Conan Mocasin and Micachu & The Shapes, �LOFi LiFE� is a brave and contemporary take on alternative indie pop. When not fronting Belfast�s favourite alternative rock band Mojo Fury, who have played alongside the likes of Biffy Clyro, Oceansize,
Everything Everything and many more, Michael can be found locked away fusing textures, sounds and styles of music at his home farmhouse studio, Millbank.
Having spent the past year producing records for bands such as The Bonnevilles, Malojian and Runaway Go to name a few, the collective pool of residual creativity had finally built up to the point where it was time for Mormecha to put pen to paper for his own material.
Michael will be revealing further new music and tour dates over the coming months.
