JPR Live Session: Mu

Francesca Belcourt and Brittney Rand, the women behind the Vancouver, British Columbia band Mu (pronounced "Moo") embrace the cutting wavelengths of electronica, enveloped in the comfort and softness of organic sounds.It took a chance meeting at the Waldorf Hotel to bring the two previously solo songwriters together and there was an instant artistic connection. Two months later they penned their first collaboration and within a year they completed their first EP, a proper introduction to the world of Mu as it tactfully marries evocative story-telling and electronic instrumentation and production. Their unique and exotic sound, with songs that draw on the emotions and experiences of twenty-somethings in a jaded, yet still hopeful world. Mu's latest release is an EP called II.
