The Mojo Fins – Introverts

“The sound the Mojo Fins produce is almost euphoric and forces you to place a smile on your face” - Room 13

“I could easily see this band crossing over into a number of radio stations” - Fresh On The Net

Following last years release of The Spirit EP, which received praise from The Mirror’s Gavin Martin, Tom Robinson’s Fresh On The Net team and was picked as the soundtrack to pop-artist Peter Blake’s 70th birthday video celebration, Brighton band The Mojo Fins release their new single; Introverts, a taster from their upcoming album due for release in 2014.

The band return to the legendary Rockfield Studios with their producer Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild) to record Introverts, which sees them creating a more electronic and upbeat sound.

The track draws you in from the get-go with it’s dramatic intro before vocalist Stephen Brett opens up with the line ‘Please shut up you’re wasting time & air‘.

Lyrically inspired by Susan Cain’s book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, in which Cain argues how modern Western Culture misunderstands and undervalues the traits and capabilities of introverted people, leading to “A colossal waste of talent, energy and happiness”, the song’s thought provoking vocal delivery begs repeated plays as its

interpretation conjours up new meaning and intent. A great example of the group’s ever evolving songwriting talent and a taste of what’s to come on their upcoming long-player.

Often likened to bands like Elbow, REM and early Coldplay, The Mojo Fins personally cite The Shins, Ryan Adams and Elliot Smith as artists who have inspired them.

Having perfomed at Glastonbury and reached the final of Q Mag’s ‘Emerging Talent’ competition, the band’s previous LPs The Sound That I Still Hear and Shake the Darkness gained critical acclaim from the UK music press and radio support from BBC Radio 2 and Brighton’s Juice FM.

Now working on their 3rd album, which features future classics Catholic Guilt, Black Sun and Exhale, the band’s line-up Stephen Brett (Vox/gtr), Steve Hoile (bass/keys), Dave Russell (Drums) and Adam Luke Atkins (gtr) have been playing select gigs around Brighton trying out new material in preparation for recording sessions that look set to deliver a remarkable album which will take them to a more mainstream audience.
