¡Forward, Russia! sign to MUTE Records

June 1, 2006

FORWARD RUSSIA! @ THEIR FIRST U.S. SHOW IN AUSTIN (more)

More mismatched than Damien Jurado playing between We are Scientists and CYHSY at Sasquatch!, was Jose Gonzalez and Forward Fussia! playing back-to-back in the FADER Tent at this year’s SXSW. Was it fate that brought the future label mates together? MUTE Records, home of Goldfrapp, Jose Gonzalez, and recent signee The Knife, were happy to announce today that Forward Russia! is their newest signing (yeah, I left off the “¡” before “Forward!”. Rumor says the band might drop it to avoid further confusion too).

“The band’s new album ‘Give Me a Wall’, will be available in the US this September.”
