HOUSE OF MOOK STUDIO NEWS |
As we're still getting some cancellations due to Covid, we ask you to consider wearing a face covering in the communal central area of the studio at busy times please to minimise the risk of infection. We
also recommend you maintain a safe distance from other people
whilst on the premises. Please also bring your own vocal mics if possible, to help minimise any transmision risk.
Please scroll down to see our available slots, including our Weekend 3 Hours for the Price of 2 Sessions before 6 pm.
Bring the noise!
After a lengthy bout of Rip Van Winkling Mook Records is proud to announce the release of "Sleepers Wake" by the one and only Percy. It's currently available digitally through itunes or their own bandcamp page. We'll keep you posted when the full physical release is scheduled. In the meantime there's an excellent and comprehensive review of the album by Trust The Wizards here.
We were very pleased to welcome The Cribs to the Mookhouse at the end of July 2017 to record an additional track for the Japanese release of their current album. Check out the photos on our Facebook page.
And veteran Dutch group Eton Crop popped in for an afternoon's rehearsal in the Orange Room, appropriately enough, ahead of their British tour with Sink Ya Teeth in October 2018. Lovely folk, one and all.
Geoffrey Oi!Cott's raucous walk-on music for darts player Garry Thompson was a talking point again during the coverage of the 2013 World Championships on BBC TV. Unfortunately he didn't progress beyond the first round in 2014 (and subsequent years?!) But you can still check out the video of them recording the song in a Christmas stylee here at House of Mook!
Respect to Kleine Schweine for getting the one and only Tom Robinson to do an impromptu performance of 2-4-6-8 Motorway whilst he was at the Mookhouse in August 2012 contributing guest vocals to their debut album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR-Yw-dOo9AFurther respect to them for persuading Phil Mook to contribute some shouty bvs too!!
As well as Phil Mook's work recording The Cribs and many others, including most of the Mook Records' releases , House of Mook was the base for Whiskas (Forward Russia guitarist and Dance to the Radio founder) to produce a number of projects including the afore-mentioned Kleine Schweine album, as well as recordings for Sam Airey, Blood Oranges, Soul Circus, Vacant Kiss, Arthur Rigby & The Baskervilles, to name but a few. |
Need
a fast, cheap (but high quality) demo, or maybe some extra songs
