Meiosis

Songs For 20 Something Year Olds

(self release)

"Meiosis is actually Newcastle based Martin Thompson, a talented so-and-so who certainly knows his way around a wonky tune with added Scott Walker style flavours. There are touches of Bowie too (from the tuneful playfulness of his Hunky Dory period to the avant-clatter of Low). And you’ve got to love a tune called Roald Dahl which has the refrain: "We miss you… When I die, be dignified."

Meiosis is back and better than ever. The band is gone but writer, musician and singer Martin Thompson has more than enough charisma to pull off the solo act – as amply demonstrated by the between-song chat which is every bit as enjoyable as the music. And as for the music… well how to describe it? Hints of Bowie, Scott Walker and Jarvis combine with Martin’s inimitable style to produce a sound that is simply unique – with the brilliant backing track providing an awesome backdrop to live music that includes not only the expected (and expertly-played?) guitars, but anything from melodica to that Seventies' favourite - the stylophone! Combined with a vocal talent often compared to that of the great Bowie himself, it is no wonder that Meiosis is establishing a loyal and ever-growing fan base. If you want to hear the most original music around and have a huge amount of fun in the process then Meiosis is Newcastle’s newest and best must-see act.
