[Contest] Win An Autographed Copy Of The New Mighty Mouse Album!

Mighty Mouse are one of the UK’s most exciting prospects for 2011 and are making their way to our side of the pond. The producer duo are currently in the studio recording material for their already anticipated full band album which will introduce singer Natalie Lewis, and is due for release in 2011. Song With No Word was written whilst in the studio recording new material, and was born out of a passion to create a body of work rather than separate songs. It features ten movements which serve as an introduction to their melodic sound in which they have created a lucious electronic soundtrack.

We have not one, not three, but FIVE autographed copies of the album for you guys! 

Wanna score a copy for yourself? Simply email us before Friday (1/28) at 4pm. 

For those of you who are not in the know yet, have a listen to this Mighty Mouse tack, "Movement 5" below. 

Good luck!
