Discovery

There are at least three bands called Discovery. 1) Discovery is a collaboration of Ra Ra Riot’s Wes Miles and Vampire Weekend’s Rostam Batmanglij. Some of the songs are sung by Wes, some are sung by Rostam, and some are sung by the two of them together. Their first album, appropriately and simply dubbed "LP" came out on XL on the 7th of July. 2) Discovery is a funk/prog pop duo from Brooklyn, NY, that released an LP in 2010 and has been featured in many major NYC music publications.

Mitzi

Mitzi, the guise of Dominiqe Bird, Jad Lee, Charles Murdoch and Cale Suesskow in what first seemed to be an unusual collaboration, has taken form, developing a recognisable sound. After playing in various accomplished bands such as BMX (2009 unearthed Parklife winners), Comic Sans (2010 unearthed St.Jeromes Laneway winners), Charlie Why! (Bang Gang 12 inches) and The Gallery Kiss, the four have brought their own unique traits to the table, creating a sound that is smooth, warm and full.

Miller is best known as the founder of the record label, Mute Records. He recorded his own solo projects (The Normal and Silicon Teens) and released them as early titles of Mute Records.
