Miaoux Miaoux, aka Julian Corrie, releases his first new material in two years in the form of the Blooms EP, a beautiful and striking blend of electronica and post-rock. Already being praised by BBC Radio 1, The Scotsman, and Glasgow PodCART, the EP features a more song-orientated approach to Miaoux Miaoux’s unique brand of electronica, recalling The Postal Service and Apparat, as well as established post-rock pioneers Mogwai.

It follows on from the success of his debut album Rainbow Bubbles, which The List called “an accomplished collection of post-rocking vibrations laced with some decidedly un-bedroomy electronics” and Drowned in Sound “a very good album”. Rainbow Bubbles also included an acclaimed remix of indie popsters Zoey Van Goey, which appeared as the b-side to their first single.

The Blooms EP will be launched on Tuesday 16th March with a gig at the 13th Note Cafe, Glasgow, 9pm, where Miaoux Miaoux will be supported by chiptune wizard Firebrand Boy and the legendary Errors DJs. It will be available on CD, and also as a download from all good digital retailers including (but not limited to) iTunes, Amazon, Napster, LaLa, Trackitdown, Juno, Rhapsody and eMusic.
