On Monday 28th August, MEEKY ROSIE will release their brilliant debut single “FOREVER” taken from the much talked about and highly publicised eco documentary film “WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR” on Wandering Star Records.

“FOREVER” is one of those powerful and evocative records that leaves a lasting and memorable impression on the listener emotionally and physically. Delicate acoustic guitar strings open, a gentle vocal glides and soars into an ethereal solo, sinister keys wrap themselves around accentuated vocals and a driving baseline, rousing harmonies soar and fall delicately, before building to a euphoric crescendo, brutal guitars whip into a psychotic frenzy, before a dramatic breakdown returns calm to the sounds of a Balearic sunrise. Paul Knight-Malciak (vocals, guitar, arrangements and fx) Stephen Clayton (vocals, guitar, violin) Tim Brain (bass) Paul Oxenham (drums, percussion) and Ben Morgan (vocals, keys, flute and fx) formed MEEKY ROSIE while studying at Plymouth University. Recording of their debut album was made with cutting edge producer Max Hayes (Primal Scream, Paul Weller, The Doves.) and was mixed at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios in Bath, Avon by Tchad Blake (Dandy Warhols, Tom Waits) and Alan Moulder (The Killers, Bloc Party). MEEKY ROSIE craft challenging and intelligent lyrics with a clever use of multiple instruments, effects and textures to produce a sound displaying a maturity and depth far beyond their years and one which has already seen early comparisons to the likes of RADIOHEAD, PINK FLOYD, COLDPLAY, THE VERVE and MOGWAI.“MEEKY ROSIE” were chosen over a number of other established bands and artists including Fatboy Slim and MOBY, after the film’s Director Chris Paine and its producer Richard D Titus heard their music on a creative video journal website for bands, artists and film makers called www.artistlog.com (a hybrid of i-tunes/myspace/youtube). Two of the bands songs “Forever” and “Nothing To Lose” taken from their debut album, will now feature in the film. The band recently wowed music industry big wigs with a sterling performance at the renowned Dublin Castle venue in Camden, London. The band also supported ATHLETE at the annual surfing Festival “K FEST” in Newquay, Cornwall last month for Athlete’s only European show this year. The track “Forever” was also voted favourite by the listeners to ZANE LOWE’S show on RADIO 1 and is rapidly becoming a favourite with the cooler DJs and clubs. The as yet untitled debut album is due for release later this year on Wandering Star Records. A three track EP “NOBODY GETS AWAY” which includes mixes by Alan Moulder (Killers, Bloc Party) and Jagz Kooner (New Order, Kasabian) is scheduled for release in September on Wandering Star Records Meeky Rosie, Forever
