Nick Mulvey Announces Tenth Anniversary Edition Of Solo Debut ‘First Mind’
First released in 2014, Mulvey’s first post-Portico Quartet solo release was widely acclaimed.
Nick Mulvey has announced a special 10th Anniversary Edition of his Mercury Prize nominated debut solo album First Mind.
Originally released in 2014, First Mind was Mulvey’s first album after leaving Portico Quartet and was met with critical acclaim across the board, receiving 5 stars from The Telegraph and 4 stars from The Guardian. In addition, The Line Of Best Fit said “A total package of pop hooks, instrumental genius and gorgeous rhythms, Mulvey presents us with an intelligent record that demonstrates his passion for sounds outside of insular scenes.” An equally enthusiastic Clash Magazine said “First Mind is captivating, full of intricacies and influences that should see it celebrated as one of the great albums of 2014. NBHAP also decreed “Nick Mulvey’s debut is a charmingly simple and rarely produced album full of beautiful melodies, extensive guitar skills and exotic rhythms – it feels like the missing soundtrack for the
beginning of a perfect summer.”
Featuring the hit singles “Fever To The Form” and “Cucurucu,” the record firmly marked Mulvey out as one of the most talented musicians of his generation. To date, the album has over 290 million streams on Spotify. The record’s new anniversary edition will be available to fans in three different formats, a 2LP colored vinyl, 2CD, 1LP Zoetrope and a deluxe digital edition.
