Biography

Napoleon IIIrd is a musician, producer and remixer, currently based in London after spending his formative years in Leeds and Holmfirth. His music is a rich tangle of sounds and melodies made from antique organs and car-boot keyboards, strummed chords and driving beats. Many of his songs are world-weary comments on modern life, set against an expansive musical backdrop.

Napoleon IIIrd’s second album, Christiania, was released on Nov 8th 2010, to a fanfare of critical acclaim in the mainstream music media. http://www.brainloverecords.com/christianiapress

His discography includes two early EPs and a debut album, entitled “In Debt To:”. 2009 saw the release of his third EP, entitled Hideki Yukawa after the groundbreaking Japanese scientist. Napoleon IIIrd toured nationally with Wild Beasts (on their Mercury-nominated “Two Dancers” album tour) and Yo Majesty!. He also played to a full house at Club NME (KOKO) and played a plethora of European festivals and clubs during this time.

Napoleon IIIrd has also remixed artists including The Cribs, ¡Forward, Russia!, Sky Larkin, Mat Riviere, Ill Ease, I Concur and Los Campesinos!, and played alongside bands as diverse as Howling Bells, Damo Suzuki, Hot Chip, The Research, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly and Chris T-T.

He is currently writing and recording his third album in his new London studio NXVI.

    I really like Napoleon IIIrd. I can't remember the name of the song I first heard, went: "Was it you who set my alarm to execution..."

    I hate to say it, but you sound like you're drinking the same water as everyone else. Keep pushing that envelope!

    'In Debt To' is so good. I'd agree with the Tom Vek comparison... Maybe Jeremy Warmsley a bit too?

    In Debt to is a great! Reminds me of The Beta Band and TV on the Radio... But still original and engaging of course... Love it... Seeing them open with Fog tonight in London... Actually, I better move it!
