Mugstar are the sound of 10,000 suns exploding, pulsing and repetitive beauty, sounding like a sonic mantra. They set sail for the sun in 2002 and have completed numerous voyagers with the likes of Mogwai, Melt Banana, Onieda, Acid Mothers Temple and Part Chimp. The band recorded one of the last sessions for the late great John Peel and featured in his festive 50.
Their new album was released in December 2006 on Sea Records / Critical MASS Records to universal acclaim and even LP of the year in Penny Black music magazine. (see reviews in Blog). A new 7" on TRENSMAT Records is available now. Mugstar are currently writing new songs for a new album to be recorded in the beginning of 2008. They are also about to launch an album alongside the likes of Mudhoney, Bardo Pond, Kinski, Acid Mothers Temple, Magoo and Part Chimp.
