Biography

There are currently two artists with this name:

Though they’ve been around for a few years now, this London-based quartet appeared quite suddenly on a U.K. scene already crowded with young upstart guitar-based bands declaring a mutual love for canyon rock, space rock, and solid ’70s-era singer/songwriter balladry (others include fellow Brits Delta, Mojave 3, Four Storeys, Goldrush (formerly Whispering Bob), and Scottish guitar-rock bands like Teenage Fanclub and fellow labelmates the Cosmic Rough Riders). Their lineup features former members of Scala, Seefeel, and Jupiter, an Australian shoegazer band. Their first full-length album, I Heard Myself in You, was produced by the band and Mads Bjerke, who (as of early 2001) has also been co-producing tracks by Spiritualized. ~ Bryan Thomas, All Music Guide

2nd is an ambient musician.

With a given name like January, it’s no wonder that singer-songwriter January Thompson’s label debut Careful What You Tell the Sky comes off as a pristine wintery soundscape. The unique combination of a classical music upbringing with an electronic treatment from producers Ramin Sakurai (Supreme Beings of Leisure) and DJ and Quango label CEO Bruno Guez make for a sound filled with both organic acoustic notes and sparser electronic atmospherics.

January, a new addition to the Quango family, is bringing her ambient and electronic talent to ears everywhere in her first single “Careful What You Tell The Sky,”. This premier release radiates soft tones with electronic beats creating a warm ethereal ambience with her remarkably sensual and distinctive voice.

    Simon's back in Aus. He has got a 3rd album done and more songs but it's on the back burner at the moment. He did say he was going to send me a cd of new stuff but it didn't arrive. I think I'll mail him again...

    is this band (the UK one) still in existence? I haven't found a lick of information about them in several years, and it hasn't been from lack of trying. IHMIY is been one of my favorite albums EVER.

    Does anybody have information about the present activity of Simon McLean, the Australian leader of January (UK band - not the Florida based one)?
