Jenny Wilson

Swedish Jenny Wilson makes elegant and sophisticated pop music with hints of synthpop. Her self-produced solo debut, Love & Youth, on which she also plays every instrument, was released to much critical acclaim in 2005. Music journalists ranked it as one of the best Swedish albums of the year. As a teenager in the early 90s, Jenny Wilson - born in 1975 - originally wanted to become a writer. At that time she discovered PJ Harvey's Rid of Me, an album that inspired her so much that she decided to give up on her writing career and focus on music.

Broken Social Scene

Broken Social Scene is a Canadian indie rock group formed in 1999 in Toronto, Canada. The band's core members are Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning. This duo recorded and released the band's ambient debut album, Feel Good Lost, in 2001, with contributions by Justin Peroff, Charles Spearin and Bill Priddle. However, when they played shows to support the album, Drew and Canning found it difficult to put together an entertaining show based on Feel Good Lost, which was an almost entirely instrumental album.

AudioVisuals

Audiovisuals are a band from North-West London. George, Danny and Seb originally came together by having a common interest in music and performing a version of Bombay Bicycle Club's 'Dust On The Ground' at DLD College's 'DLD's Got Talent' competition for a bit of fun. With Danny and Seb already being in an incomplete band, they invited George to join them as joint singer/guitarist along with Seb. George's twin brother, Tom, was soon asked to join on drums. After several practices and quick progression the decision was reached to record as soon as possible.
