mlms live show now incorporates a full brass section and drummer, accentuating the elements of carnivalesque ska and heightening their collective energy. this, combined with johnnys unique lyrical style, sees the band form a new fuller sound, merging their playful melodies with a powerful back line. young british singer, jessie ware (who has also sung for jack penate), a bright new talent, has also joined them to offer soulful vocals. the >lovestruck< ep reveals a more refined method of writing infectious and original british music. their new approach to composition harbors their recognized style, whilst showing a progression as serious songwriters. for the release of the ep the band has been working with producers such as clive langer (madness) and charlie hugall (florence and the machine).
