OPEN MOUTH - Biography
"If you’re going to invest in any album by a ‘singer songwriter’ this year, then make it Import/Export – it’s a marvellous record, and I can’t recommend it enough." - Drownedinsound.com
"Seymour's songwriting with Open Mouth might actually be more accomplished than anything he ever did with Miss Black America. The songs I’ve heard so far distance themselves from the past, the history, and discord of yore... (Castle Keep) exacts the kind of energy that leaves you speechless for moments after" - Drownedinsound.com
“Open Mouth is striking for Seymour's singularly personal musical approach… superb” – God Is In The TV
“Soaked in emotion and delivered with conviction… another stunning showcase of Seymour's musical abilities” – Rhythm & Booze
"Presumably the artist went to some trouble to record these tracks. Why he bothered is a mystery - perhaps he is deranged or slightly ill" - I Shot The Deputy
“The future is looking increasingly bright for Open Mouth” – Drownedinsound.com
Open Mouth is the solo project of Miss Black America singer Seymour Patrick, born in late 2005 when line-up troubles in MBA found Seymour unexpectedly alone in a recording studio with producer Andy Taylor (Editors, Carina Round).
The first Open Mouth album - 'Import/Export' - will be released on 14th May 07 via R*E*P*E*A*T Records. Around 20% of the proceeds from physical copies will be donated to War Child.
Seymour recently did a short tour of the UK with London-based singer/songwriter, Dexy, in support of their joint 7” single, the critically-acclaimed ‘Castle Keep/Waiting For An Accident’ . It all went rather well.
Seymour will be found gigging wherever he’s asked to play until the day he dies.
