PLEASE NOTE THE FOLOWING IS PASTED TEXT FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. "LOOPER INKS WORLDWIDE RECORD DEAL WITH MUTE Looper, the Glasgow four-piece led by Stuart David co-founder of Belle and Sebastian, have ended months of speculation by signing a world wide record deal with Mute. Looper, who in the last two years have released two critically acclaimed albums "Up A Tree" and "The Geometrid" through Sub Pop (U.S) and Jeepster (UK), recently completed a successful tour of the United States as special guests of The Flaming Lips. Announcing the deal, Mute founder, Daniel Miller said "I am a huge fan of the first two albums so when I heard Looper were looking for a new label it was an obvious one for me to pursue. It's not just their wide range of musical qualities I admire but the really strong visual sense they express in all aspects of their work, this is a very exciting signing for the label." Looper are currently writing new material and will return to the studio later this year to begin recording their debut for Mute which is set for release in 2002." MY OPINION BEGINS HERE my guess is that Stuart might be coming across the pond soon. cheers +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
