Mitch Easter's Dynamico
PR reports: For the past two decades since disbanding his much lauded new wave band, Let's Active, Mitch Easter has been keeping himself busy at his famed Fidelitorium studio producing amazing albums for bands from around the world. At times, Mitch would take some time to himself to record his own songs, but was formulating no definite plans to release them. Then it happened last fall, to the surprise and jubilance of many, Mitch decided to take the 19 years worth of recordings and put them to use. After a couple months of mixing and mastering, the result is his long-awaited solo release, Dynamico (Electric Devil), a collection of 14 magnificent pop songs rife with Mitch's signature guitar style and crafty new wave aesthetics. While the songs evoke all the reasons you loved Let's Active, they also serve to remind you that new wave is alive and well in 2007.
