Coming out of label hibernation and trying to get everything started again. Our inbox is a complete mess of spam, I'm deleting thousands and thousands of messages trying to look for the important ones but please send on a recent email again if you're waiting to hear from me. There's also been a few wayward shipments and any orders will be shipped by the end of the coming week. There will be a relaunch of the Spiral Joy Band LP shortly, and watch out for a 50% off code for the store in this weeks newsletter.

Unfortunately looks like the MIE web server has been hacked with some dire consequences, I haven't received any emails for a few weeks, apologies to all those needing a reply. I'm trying to work out how to fix this!

Coming soon in March. Lejsovka & Freund's amazing 2LP Music for Small Ensemble & Computer. A classic lo-fi DIY sh*tty classical opus from the duo (who used to be Trouble Books). Formed out the previously released Mold on Canvas & Fatal Strategies LPs which were self-released and long sold out by the band. MIE is now putting the two releases together, juggling the tracks about a bit and getting it out for all to hear. Read Keith Freund's words here and pre-order now!

I’ve always thought it’d be really cool to have someone write something smart and poetic about a release of ours, but here I am again trying to type this out myself and not have it be boring and embarrassing. I don’t know, I guess I’ll just be blunt and direct and hit “send” ASAP.Music for Small Ens...
